Annie was a gangly little kid of 17
When first she saw a movie up on the big screen
Mom & Dad both had to vent their spleen
When Annie told them of her dream
She took the classes and she took all the diets
She learned to cry on cue and learned how to fight
Went to the theatre every Tuesday night
Reciting monologues in the moon
(I Can't Play) Basketball lyrics
light
But I loved her first
And in my dreams, we kissed again and again
I loved her first
She ignores me now, like she did then
But I loved her first, nyah nyah nyah nyah, called it
Annie's friends were skeptical at best
Seeing her rehearse, they were far from impressed
Even as she went to take her first screen test
They hoped it would make her less self-obs
Listen To What The Man Said lyrics

Any time
any day
You can hear the people say

That love is blind
well I don't know
But I say love is kind.

Soldier boy kisses girl
Leaves behind a 
ssed
She got her first part in a travelling play
Away from home, and she preferred it that way
No one else was around to have their say
Not that anyone's complaining today
But I loved her first
And in my dreams, we kissed again and again
I loved her first
She ignores me now, like she did then
But I loved her first, nyah nyah nyah nyah
The parts came & went, 
Let's Face It lyrics

It's so hard to face that in this day and age
Somebody's race could trigger somebody's rage.
And somebody's preference can drive some total stranger
To make somebody, 
 still she slogged on
Till soon the gawky teenager was gone
The duckling disappeared, replaced by a swan
A light toward which so many have since been drawn
I wrote her a letter that I never did mail
And I still buy her videos when they go on sale
And all her so-called friends who were so convinced she'd fail
Come over and try to follow her vapor trail.
