Can't you hear
That lonely symphony
It's playing just for me
It's the same old misery
Trying to bring me down
And I just wanna cry out loud
And tell you how I feel
Seeing your face in every crowd
Is making my heart beat harder
For the chance to be near you
And whenever I see you
And there's nothing
Can hold me down
Oh Anna Julia
Oh Anna Julia
All the guys
That follow you around
Are trying to catch your eye
They just think that I'm a clown
I'm crazy to even try
But when I see you on the street
My whole world starts to change
Then the blood beneath my feet
Starts burning me up like a fire
And I feel like I'm falling
That's when I hear you calling
Hold my breath and look around
Oh, Anna Julia
Oh, Anna Julia
Pray for the day
When your love sets me free
People say there's no way
That your love's not for me
But there'll come a day
When I tell you all that I feel
And they'll stand and watch
While you walk away with me
Oh, Anna Julia
Oh, Anna Julia
Oh, Anna Julia
Oh, Anna Julia
Julia, Julia
Ow, ow, ow
