Annie I'm Not Your Daddy (Reprise) Lyrics
Kid Creole And The Coconuts
Lyrics
They say that all is fair in love and war
And child believe it
When mama stayed in Saint Tropez
She had a fall or two
And I'm telling it to you straight
So you don't have to hear it in another way
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
They say that out of sight is out of mind
And child believe it
Your mama was in search of love
But all she got was used
And I'm telling it to your face
So you don't have to hear it in another place
(Break it to me gently now
Don't forget I'm just a child)
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
(Mama's baby's papa's baby)
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
(Mama's baby's papa's baby)
See if I was in your blood
Then you wouldn't be so ugly
Yes I'm telling it to you straight
So you don't have to hear it in another way
(Break it to me gently now
Don't forget I'm just a child)
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
(Mama's baby's papa's baby)
Oh Annie, I'm not your daddy
(Mama's baby's papa's baby)
