[Verse 1]
Far too femme
Surrounded by rocks
You're gonna look the gem
You can dress it away, talk it away
Dull down the flame
But it's all pretend
It's all pretend
[Chorus]
What would my, what would my father do?
Do I take a bite, take a bite of the fruit?
I've heard other people say
It can't be right if it causes you shame
Have I made you proud?

[Bridge]
Take a bite babe

Do I take a bite, take a bite of the fruit?
Have I made you proud?
Take a look at me now
If I've got my father's eyes
I've got my mother's smile (Take a look at me now)
[Outro]
Have I made you proud?
Take a look at me now (Take a look at me now)
If I've got my father's eyes
I've got my mother's smile (Take a look at me now)
