lyrics

Anne-Marie’s got a good job for the city
She wears nylons and her hair it smells so pretty,

And it’s hard not to frown,
To see her man face down,
Sleeping off last night’s indulgences
And then some.

Mornings, Anne-Marie she rubs her lower belly,
And tilts her head up to the sky,
She could imagine easily a family,
But it isn’t such a good idea now.

He says, ‘you knew what you were getting,
When you got with me,
My Anne-Marie,
You can’t cry now.”

And it’s a fine line
Between here and gone,
Between right and wrong,
Between choice and fate,
And it’s too late,
Cause they both know
There’s no way now
She’ll let him go.

So Anne-Marie she thinks at all the years,
When she kept her head and held back all the tears,
It was him who made her see
That she was perfectly free,
And for this she would be his
Forever more.

He said, “you knew what you were getting
When you got with me,
My Anne-Marie,
You can’t cry now.”
