Annie, I’m Not Your Daddy

[Verse 1: Kid Creole]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Creole]
And I'm telling it to you straight
So you don't have to hear it in another way

[Chorus: Kid Creole]
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy

[Verse 2: Kid Creole]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Creole & The Coconuts]
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

[Chorus: Kid Creole & The Coconuts]
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
You see, if I was in your blood
Then you wouldn't be so ugly
(No!)

[Bridge: The Coconuts]
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a
I don't wanna, I don't wanna be a

[Verse 3: Kid Creole]
They say that bliss is made of ignorance
And, child, believe it
Had mama left and not confessed
Perhaps I'd love you too

[Pre-Chorus: Kid Creole & The Coconuts]
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

[Chorus: Kid Creole & The Coconuts]
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
You see, if I was in your blood
Then you wouldn't be so ugly
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
Oh, Annie
I'm not your daddy
Mama's baby's papa's maybe

[Outro: The Coconuts & Kid Creole]
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
Mama's baby's papa's maybe
Mama's baby's papa's maybe (Oh, Annie)
Mama's baby's papa's maybe (Oh, Annie)
(Yeah)
(Woah, oh, oh)
