And so
  Annie Waits annie waits Annie Waits
  for a call
  from a friend
  
  the same
  it's the same, why's it always the same?
  annie waits
  for the last
  time
  
  the clock never stops never stops never waits
  she's growin' old
  it's gettin' late
  and so he forgot he forgot maybe not
  maybe he's been seriously hurt
  would that be worse?
  
  headlights crest the hill
  shadows pass her by and out of sight
  hooo hooo
  annie sees in dreams
  friday bingo, pigeons in the park
  annie waits for the last time
  just the same as the last time
  
  Annie says,
  you see?
  this is why i'd rather be
  alone
  
  and so
  annie waits annie waits annie waits
  for a call
  from a friend
  the same
  it's the same
  why's it always the same?
  annie waits
  as the last
  
  headlights crest the hill
  who will be the one forever more
  hooo hooo
  annie i could be
  if we're both still lonely when we're old
  annie waits for the last time
  just the same as the last time
  annie waits for the last time
  just the same as the last time
  annie waits
  but not for me
