Songtext Killer / papa was a rollin? stone (long version) George Michael

Killer / papa was a rollin? stone (long version)

So you want to be free

To live your life the way you wanna be

Will you give if we cry

Will we live or will we die


Tainted hearts heal with time

Shoot bad love so we can

Stop the bleeding


Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that

Wants to live

Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that

Wants to give

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that

Wants to live

Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that

Wants to give


If we try to live our lives

The way we wanna be


Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that

Wants to live

Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that

Wants to give

Solitary brother, is there still a part of you that

Wants to live

Solitary sister, is there still a part of you that

Wants to give


Racism in future kings can only lead to no good

And besides, all our sons and daughters already

Know that feels


It was the third of september

That day I'll always remember, yes I will
´
Cause that was the day that my daddy died


Never had a chance to see him, no

Never heard nothin? but bad things about him

Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

Mama just hung her head and said

(Chorus)


Papa was a rollin? stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(
And when he died)

All he left us was alone (repeat)

Hey, mama, is it true what they say

That papa never worked a day in his life

Some bad talks going around sayin?

Papa had three outside children

And anouther wife

That ain't right


Heard some talks about papa and his storefront
Preachin?

Talkin? about saving souls and all the time
Leaching

And dealing in the dirt

Stealin? in the name of the lord

But mama she just said

(Chorus)


Papa was a rollin? stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(
And when he died)

All he left us was alone (repeat)

Say, I heard my papa was a jack of all trades

Is that what sent papa to an early grave?

Folks say papa would bag, borrow of steal just

To pay his bills

Hey, mama, folks say papa was ever much on thinkin?

Spent most of this time chasin? women and drinkin?

But mouther, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth

But my mama she just said

(
Chorus 2x)


Papa was a rollin? stone

Wherever he laid his hat was his home
(
And when he died)

All he left us was alone (repeat)

But my mama she said


Papa was a rollin? stone

Oh my mama said

Wherever he laid his hat was his home

And when he died

All he left us was alone (repeat)

All he left us

All he left us


Can you believe he left us?


All alone yeah

All alone yeah

All alone yeah


Yeah
