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
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?
Annie, are you ok?
So, Annie are you ok, are you ok Annie?
(Annie are you ok?)
(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)
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?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by
A smooth criminal
So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth to mouth
Resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidation
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?

(Then you
Ran into the bedroom)
(You were struck down)
(It was your doom)
(Annie are you ok?)
(So, Annie are you ok?)
(Are you ok Annie?)
(You've been hit by)

A smooth criminal)
Okay, I want everybody to clear
The area right now!
Aaow!

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

Dag gone it - baby!

The lyrics to Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" tell a dark story of a woman, named Annie, who is presumably attacked by an intruder. The opening of the song sets the scene, as the intruder comes through the window with a crescendo. Annie tries to hide but is unable to defend herself and ultimately falls victim to the attack. The chorus of the song repeatedly asks "Annie, are you ok? Are you ok, Annie?" indicating that she is not, and that she has been hit by a "smooth criminal". The song ends with an intense vocalization from Jackson.

Pleaseโฆโฆ Michael Jackson sang like a crybaby voice. He was NO where near good. I could sing better than him and I canโt even singโฆโฆ And plus Taylor Swift is 100x better than Michael Jackson. You know for a fact Michael Jackson is the most overrated singer ever

I remember as a kid thinking he was by far the greatest dancer on earth. He still holds that title in my book.
