Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
You give me fever
Like I've never, ever known

I feel your fever
From miles around
I'll pick you up in my car
And we'll paint the town

Just kiss me baby
And tell me twice
That you're the one for me

(The way you make me feel)
You really turn me on
(You really turn me on)
You knock me off of my feet
(You knock me off of my feet)
My lonely days are gone
(My lonely days are gone)

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
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 Resus - Citation
Sounding Heartbeats - Intimidations

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?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Criminal" by Stephan F and Tony T is a mash-up of two different songs: Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and Alien Ant Farm's cover of it. The first section of the song describes a passionate encounter between the singer and a woman in high heels who gives him a fever that he's never known before. He picks her up in his car and they paint the town red. The chorus repeats the phrase "Annie, are you okay?" which is a reference to Michael Jackson's original track, and seems to suggest that someone has been hurt or attacked. In the second section of the song, the lyrics describe a violent incident with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, heartbeats, and intimations. The final chorus repeats the phrase "you've been hit by a smooth criminal", implying that someone has been the victim of a crime.

The lyrics of "Criminal" are cryptic and open to interpretation. The first section seems to be about a passionate, high-energy romance, while the second section suggests violence and mayhem. It's possible that the song is meant to be a commentary on the dark side of passion and desire, or on the unpredictability of love and relationships. The chorus, which is lifted directly from Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal", adds an air of mystery to the song, as it's not clear who "Annie" is or what has happened to her. Overall, the lyrics of "Criminal" are provocative, emotionally charged, and open to multiple readings.

Hey pretty baby with the high heels on
Addressing a physically attractive woman

You give me fever
You excite me

Like I've never, ever known
In a way that is completely new to me

I feel your fever
I sense your passion

From miles around
Even from a distance

I'll pick you up in my car
I'll come get you in my vehicle

And we'll paint the town
We'll go out and have fun

Just kiss me baby
Show me affection with a kiss

And tell me twice
Reassure me that you love me

That you're the one for me
That you're my perfect match

You really turn me on
You make me feel aroused

You knock me off of my feet
You overwhelm me with emotions

My lonely days are gone
I no longer feel alone

So they came into the outway
Two people entered the area that is commonly used to exit

It was Sunday, what a black day
A sad event occurred on a Sunday

Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Reviving someone by breathing air into their lungs

Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
A tense situation with audible heartbeats and the possibility of harm

She Ran Underneath The Table

He Could See She Was Unable

Be careful, he's coming

Como dicen en la calle anda con el ojo pelado, y te lo digo asi porque viene por ti
As they say on the streets, keep your eyes peeled, and I'm telling you this because he's coming for you

He comes and goes nobody knows, Dang gone it baby, Dang gone it baby, Dang gone it baby, noooo
He's elusive, no one can predict his movements, and it's frustrating
