Raggedy Ann
(c) Colleen Laylon, BMI, 2007

V1
Strawberry curls and her Mama's smile
you can see her Daddy in her eyes
they were a family for a little while
less then a year said there good byes

V2
Love and hate walks a very thin line
she's caught between while the courts decide
he says she's his she says she's mine
they both expect her to take their side

Chorus
She's not Raggedy Ann she's a little girl too young to understand
this tug of war ain't the life God planned
she's a little girl... not Raggedy Ann

V3
Accusations and calling names
who would of guessed it would turn out this way
she didn't ask to take part in their games
her tender heart breaks more everyday

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Those are true baby blues not triangle eyes
she loves you and needs you
to compromise......

Repeat Chorus
