[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?
Take a look at me now
If I've got my father's eyes
I've got my mother's smile
[Verse 2]
Wrong or right
You're standing right in front of a green light
Just look at his face, what a beautiful face
How it makеs you feel inside
Feel inside
[Bridge]
Take a bitе, babe
Take a bite, babe
It's an ordinary thing
Take a bite, babe
Take a bite, babe
It's an ordinary thing
[Chorus]
What would my father do?
Do I take a bite, take a bite of the fruit?
What would my father do?
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
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?
Take a look at me now
If I've got my father's eyes
I've got my mother's smile
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
I think ‘Fruit’ encapsulates the record even more than ‘Hideous’ does because it has more accessible joy to it. There’s celebration, but it also has the fear and the shame that the record is about.
