Lyrics

La Petite Mort

[Verse 1]

No one seems to understand

I worship the ground you walk on

Let me die

Let me die

A small death

While you tell me the truth

[Chorus]

Who's your daddy?

(You are, you are)

Who's your daddy now?

Who's your daddy?

(You are, you are)

Who's your daddy now?

[Verse 2]

I was crowned much too early

Hark, are you foe or friend?

Baby arch your back

And tell me the truth

[Chorus]

Who's your daddy?

(You are, you are)

Who's your daddy now?

Who's your daddy

(You are, you are)

Who's your daddy now?

(You are, you are)

(You are, you are)
