Lyrics

Smooth Criminal (Early Version)

[Verse 1]

As he came into the window

Was a sound of a crescendo

As he's leaving her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

He could see that she's unable

[Pre-Chorus]

...Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

[Chorus]

Annie, are you okay?

Will you tell us if you're okay?

There's a sound at the window

Was the sound of, a crescendo, Annie

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na na

It was your doom

[Post-Chorus]

Annie, are you okay?

Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?

[Refrain]

You've been hit by—

You've been struck by—

A smooth criminal, ooh!

Ow!
