Smooth Criminal Lyrics
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok Annie?
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
(There's a sign in the window)
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
(He came into your apartment)
(He left the bloodstains on the carpet)
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by
A smooth criminal
It was Sunday - what a black day
Mouth to mouth
Resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats - intimidation
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok
Are you ok, Annie
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok?
Are you ok, Annie?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok Annie?
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
(There's a sign in the window)
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
(He came into your apartment)
(Left the bloodstains on the carpet)
(Then you
Ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)
(So, Annie are you ok?)
(Are you ok Annie?)
(You've been hit by)
(You've been struck by
A smooth criminal)
The area right now!
I don't know!
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
I don't know!
(There's a sign in the window)
I don't know!
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
I don't know!
(He came into your apartment)
I don't know!
(Left the bloodstains on the carpet)
I don't know why baby!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
I don't know
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom - Annie!)
Dag gone it - baby!
(Will you tell us that you're ok?)
Dag gone it - baby!
(There's a sign in the window)
Dag gone it - baby!
(That he struck you - a crescendo Annie)
Hoo! Hoo!
(He came into your apartment)
Dag gone it!
(Left the bloodstains on the carpet)
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
(Then you ran into the bedroom)
Dag gone it!
(It was your doom - Annie!)
Aaow!!!
the phrase "annie are you okay" came from when a mans daughter named Annie was drowning in a pool and the man was yelling "annie are you okay". the man lost his daughter as we so devastated he invented a way to save peoples lives if they stop breathing, which we call CPR. Now people use the phrase when someone is hurt or injured.
(: i learned this in health class in 8th grade
@Lauren3819 This is actually not the case. While it is a nice story, it is one of those myths of blurry origin that gets repeated so often it becomes fact. Here is a BBC article explaining the backstory of "Annie." http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-24534069

This was always one my favorites of MJ. I believe I read somewhere that this song is about domestic abuse. Michael did a lot of music about social issues and the human condition and that's what I respect about him.
Hmm. I just saw "This Is It" and a realization came to me. I have no idea why I never thought of this before, but I thought that it was about the Gestapo finding Anne Frank. You know, with the whole theme about the "Annie, are you okay?" and about how she was hit by a smooth criminal. The part about Dad could reference the fact that her father was the only one living in the Annexe who survived.
I remember the first time I saw the music video to this song, I was like 6 or 7, and I just fell in love with Michael Jackson's dancing and music.
OoO me too!!! my bought that history caseette and we watched it together, ever since then he's been number on my favorite hottie, favorite singer, and favorite dancer list. hes just pure amazing ♥

@dreq I thought so too, especially if you watch the video and see MJ shooting at a bunch of shadowy figures. Seems like it might've been MJ taunting people who were trying to threaten him.

i never got this song- has annie been murdered or what? cos it goes "it was your doom" which suggestes she's be dead but the she's talking?!?! and you dont ask a dead person if they're ok. and then there's the whole 'bloodstains on the carpet' thing....
You can be doomed and not be dead. My life is testament to that and I'm alive enough to type this.

ok i thought this was obvious but this is about a girl losing her virginity there are blood stains on the carpert, i wonder why also the criminal didnt kill her, he stole her virginity she went into the BED ROOM, what on earth happens there this was no murder

I was brought up with Mj music and I love him! and this song is just great and the AAF version sucks!.. the orignal is always better. The song is good but confusing. lol!
I really can't believe he's dead. I mean sure we've all made More than enough MJ jokes, but still he has always been an icon, even if it wasn't always for the right reasons. I've never been a HUGE fan, but he was definately one of the first artists I remember listening to when I was a kid.
I'm not really crying my eyes out now that he is gone, but I'm definately not dancing for joy about it either...MJ for a FACT was a gift to music. It is unfortunate that there were so many circumstances that inevetably distracted many of us from that over the years.
R.I.P Michael Jackson.
Classic song. MJ had more talent in his pinky then most bands today have combined :-(
Such an amazing song! :)
