Never wondered who I was My mama told me I think my birthday was a sunny day Back in October '54 My daddy showed me And he decided, that Anita was my name When I was six I did my first performance Between the sliding doors On granny's wedding day Had no problems growing up I just got older And I accepted That Anita is my name Never wondered how to sing And no one told me 'Cause I had to find out Trying to sing a song In '67 in Berlin A stripper showed me Far too much But it didn't do me wrong I wondered how she's done Her first performance Between the sliding doors On granny's wedding day Don't know why I tell you this Nobody forced me Just some stories about Anita, that's my name Never wondered how to love Until he told me Oo, that feeling Life would never be the same Confusion made me feel Like I was standing Between the sliding doors On granny's wedding day And now I'm tryin' to live The way life showed me A brand new story About Anita, that's my name A brand new story About Anita, that's my name
