A Long And Sad Goodbye Lyrics by Lenny Kravitz

It Is Time for a Love Revolution

2008

[Verse 1]
Papa
Who's to blame
Why you never had your fortune and fame
Papa what did you gain
To leave the love you had for a two-bit dame

[Chorus 1]
Papa
Why did you turn your back
Why didn't you stay on track
Why did you leave and make her cry

[Chorus 2]
Papa
You meant the world to me
Why did you abandon me
Now it's a long and sad goodbye

[Verse 2]
Papa
What is this game
With all that cheating you did you're gonna go insane

Papa
I am in pain
'Cause on the day that you left
You said I'd do the same

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]
Papa, Papa, Papa
No
Oh Papa, Papa, oh papa
No

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 3]
