PAPA
Younotus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That day, I remember it like yesterday
Heartbreak for the first time, I still feel the pain
No way would I ever fall in love again

Then my papa said, "Baby, you're a star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts"
My papa said, my papa said

Go ahead and shine now my little star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts
My papa said, my papa said

Go ahead and shine now my little star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts
My papa said, "You're a star, just be who you are"

My mom, no she did not come back home that day
So scared that it was my fault she walked away
No way I was ever gonna feel okay

Then my papa said, "Baby, you're a star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts"
My papa said, my papa said

Go ahead and shine now my little star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts
My papa said, "You're a star, just be who you are"

They say a heart breaks on the first time
I still remember all the pain like yesterday
I cried to sleep, think I had turned numb
I swore that I would never fall in love again

Then my papa said, "Baby, you're a star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts"
My papa said, my papa said

Go ahead and shine now my little star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry
One day you will break all these young boys' hearts
My papa said, my papa said

Go ahead and shine now my little star
Heaven's got a plan for you don't you cry




One day you will break all these young boys' hearts
My papa said, "You're a star, just be who you are"
