Annabelle
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's a million other girls like you
Thirty minutes and you say we're official
But I have got some news for you
I need a girl, not a body with a complex
I got a heart and you've got your lipstick
Fine as hell but I think I might as well drop Annabelle
You're staying up just to dance alone (woah)
I'm dressing down 'cause I'm tired and I wanna go home
You look the part but looks don't tell the truth, woah-oh
Well baby you're pretty but I'm pretty sure I'm over you
You can't even hold a normal conversation
But you can tell your friends I ruined your life
Whatever helps your perfect reputation
'Cause I'm not losing sleep tonight
I met a girl and she's more than a pretty face
Six drinks and she still remembers my mine
Fine as hell but I think I might as well drop Annabelle (Annabelle)
You're staying up just to dance alone (woah)
I'm dressing down 'cause I'm tired and I wanna go home
You look the part but looks don't tell the truth, woah-oh
Well baby you're pretty but I'm pretty sure I'm over you
Turn around
Turn around and walk away
I want out
I can't take another day
Even though she moves so well
I don't need a girl like Annabelle
You're staying up just to dance alone (woah)
I'm dressing down 'cause I'm tired and I wanna go home
You look the part but looks don't tell the truth, woah-oh
Well baby you're pretty but I'm pretty sure I'm over you
You're staying up just to dance alone (woah)
I'm dressing down 'cause I'm tired and I wanna go home
You look the part but looks don't tell the truth, woah-oh
Well baby you're pretty but I'm pretty sure I'm over you
Maybe she's pretty but I don't need a girl like Annabelle
The lyrics of A Rocket to the Moon's song "Annabelle" are a commentary on the phenomenon of girls who think they are special and distinct but are actually just like millions of others.

The song concludes with the singer admitting that while Annabelle is pretty, he does not need a girl like her in his life.
The lyrics of "Annabelle" highlight the importance of true connection rather than superficial attraction. They also show how one person's ego can cloud their ability to form genuine relationships. The song's catchy tune and relatable lyrics made it a hit when it was released in 2009.
