Over The Rhine – Daddy Untwisted lyrics

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
An' are you my daddy?
Are you?

I don't wanna cut you up
(I don't want)
Drink you from a paper cup
(I don't want)
I don't wanna spit you out
(I don't want)
Or kick you in the shin

I don't wanna knock you down
(I don't want)
Be your mother, be a clown
(I don't want)
I don't wanna talk about
(I don't want)
The shit you're really in

I don't wanna take a bow
(I don't want)
No one's clapping anyhow
(I don't want)
I don't wanna sneak around
(I don't want)
And pray you'll understand

I don't wanna call your bluff
(I don't want)
Enough's enough
(I don't want)
I don't wanna see you
(I don't want)

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?

I don't wanna ruffle you
(I don't want)
Cut the deck and shuffle you
(I don't want)
Don't wanna come to fisticuffs
(I don't want)
Or stick you with a pin

I don't wanna argue
(I don't want)
Hurt your pride or make you blue
(I don't want)
Your tongue is forked and clearly
(I don't want)
There are scales upon your skin

I don't wanna help ice crack
(I don't want)
Give you a surprise attack
(I don't want)
I don't wanna cut you slack
(I don't want)
And watch it go to hell

I don't wanna tell you lies
(I don't want)
Like presbyterians or spies
(I don't want)
I don't wanna see you
(I don't want)
Chained up

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?

Don't you run away
(I don't want)
Leave me like a rainy day
(I don't want)
I don't wanna make you stay
(I don't want)
Or stand up high above you

Don't want you to see me cry
(I don't want)
I'm just trying not to lie
(I don't want)
I don't wanna see you
(I don't want)
Chained up

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
An' are you?
An' are you?

An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
An' are you my daddy?
An' are you?
