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
