Acid Annie

**"Acid Annie"** is a song by Natalia Kills. It is the tenth song featured on her debut studio album, *Perfectionist*.

## Background

On August 11, 2010, the track listing to *The Perfectionist* was shared for the first time by Page Six. "Acid Annie" was not among the 12 songs that were on the album at the time.

In an interview with Arjan Timmermans on December 24, 2010, Teddy said that the album had 11 songs. Considering Acid Annie was not a part of the 12 songs in August, it probably still wasn't recorded.

This song was first teased on March 12, 2011, when Teddy tweeted, "love ain't easy when you're bleeding from the thrill of the fight..." The next day, she tweeted, "'If u're wondering why your window's smashed, your shirts are slashed, your house is trashed-me. motherf its me'-ACID ANNIE," and "'CALL ME PSYCHOTIC OR NUMB, I'M JUST A PRODUCT OF LOVE, SO THANKS FOR SHOWING ME HOW." - ACID ANNIE."

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**

This is 911, what is your emergency?

There's been an accident

**[Verse 1]**

I followed you to the mall

I pulled up right by your car

And darling, I saw it all, yeah

I followed you to her house

I watched you there on the couch

And honey, I saw it all, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus 1]**

And if you wondering why your window's smashed

Your shirts are slashed, your house is trashed

Me, don't you know that it's me?

Me, me, me

**[Chorus 1]**

Acid Annie, don't be bitter for the rest of your life

(Acid Annie, no, no, no)

He can hurt you, don't deserve you

But he can't make it right

(Acid Annie, no, no, Acid Annie, no)

**[Verse 2]**

Your guilty gun's on the ground

Put your apology down

Take your own medicine now, yeah

Call me psychotic or numb

I’m just a product of love

So thanks for showing me how, yeah

**[Pre-Chorus 2]**

And if you're wondering why your brakes are cut

And everything is fucked, it's me

Don't you know that it’s me? Yeah

**[Chorus 2]**

Acid Annie, don't be bitter for the rest of your life

(Acid Annie, no, no, no)

He can hurt you, don't deserve you

No, he can't make it right

(Acid Annie, Acid Annie, no, no, no)

Acid Annie don't be bitter for the rest of your life

(Acid Annie, no, no, Acid Annie, no)

No, love ain't easy when you're bleeding from the thrill of the fight

(No, Acid Annie, no, no, no, no, no-no, no)

**[Bridge]**

And if you wondering why your window's smashed

Your shirts are slashed, your house is trashed

Me, don't you know that it's me? (No, no, no, no)

And if you're wondering why your brakes are cut

And everything is fucked, it's me

Motherfucker, it's me, yeah!

**[Chorus 2]**

Acid Annie, don't be bitter for the rest of your life

(Acid Annie, don't be bitter for the rest of your life)

He can hurt you, don't deserve you

No he can't make it right

(Love ain't easy when you're bleeding from the thrill of the fight)

Acid Annie don't be bitter for the rest of your life

(Acid Annie, no, no, Acid Annie, no, no)

Yeah, love ain't easy when you're bleeding from the thrill of the fight (No, no, Acid Annie)

From the thrill of the fight
