Papa Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look up, look where you wanna be
Look left, look where he left me
I should've known by the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated moonshine

[Chorus]
Boy you give good love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve but me

[Refrain]
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright

[Verse 2]
Look left, look where you wanna be
Look up, look where he left me
I should've known by the ice in his eye
But you warm me up with your so sweet demise
And nestled in your calculated emotion
[Chorus]
Boy you give good love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve, your sleeve
Love, plastic love
You're a genuine wannabe
And you got it all up your blue sleeve but me

[Refrain]
Oh, Papa, oh, Papa, tonight
Papa, oh, I'll be alright

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
