Smooth Criminal (Early Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
As he's leaving her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see that she's unable
[Pre-Chorus]
...Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us if you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Was the sound of, a crescendo, Annie
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
It was your doom
[Post-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
As he's leaving her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see that she's unable
[Pre-Chorus]
...Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us if you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Was the sound of, a crescendo, Annie
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
It was your doom
[Post-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
[Refrain]
