Anita lyrics
Anita
When I met you, you were seventeen
And still livin' with your mother
You were a little girl so young and green
How you needed a big brother
You looked at me for all the ways that I knew
To sow the desire
Now who's this man who wants to marry you
And make our love a liar?
He treats you good, I'll treat you better
Oh, Anita
He comes on strong, but we'll come together
Oh, Anita
Now you ask me to give you away1
Lead the lamb to the slaughter
I can't be cool because all the words you say
Get me hot under the collar
He treats you good, I'll treat you better
Oh, Anita
He comes on strong, but we'll come together
Oh, Anita
We come together, Anita
Anita
Oh, Anita, I can't forget
I've played so cool and shady
I didn't know that girl I met
Was a woman and not a lady
He treats you good, I'll treat you better
He treats you good, but I'll treat you still better
Oh, Anita
He comes on strong, we'll come together
Oh, Anita
He treats you good, I'll treat you better
Oh, Anita
Oh, Anita
Oh, Anita
I need you, Anita
He treats you good, I'll treat you better
Oh, Anita
