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
Papa Why did you turn your back Why didn't you stay on track
Why did you leave and make her cry Papa You meant the world to me
Why did you abandon me Now it's a long and sad goodbye
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 Papa Why did you turn your back
Why didn't you stay on track Why did you leave and make her cry
Papa You meant the world to me Why did you abandon me
Now it's a long and sad goodbye Papa, Papa, Papa
No Papa, Papa, oh papa
Oh Papa Why did you turn your back Why didn't you stay on track
Why did you leave and make her cry Oh Papa
You meant the world to me Why did you abandon me
Now it's a long and sad goodbye Papa, Papa, Papa
No no no, stay
"A Long and Sad Goodbye" is an ode to Kravitz late father. Their tumultuous relationship was in part due to Sy's cheating on Lenny's beloved mother Roxie Roker . Though father and son remained at odds for much of their lives, they made their peace shortly before Sy Kravitz's death from leukemia in 2005. Kravitz told MTV News: "My dad and I made peace with each other a few weeks before he passed, and we spent a lot of time with each other in those last days. We didn't have the greatest relationship because he had cheated on my mom and I was basically a mama's boy. It was hard-core. When your mother sits you and your father in the same room on the day he's leaving, and your mother says to your father, 'Don't you have anything to say to your son?' You'd think he'd say, 'Son, I messed up,' or whatever, some redeeming statement. But he said, 'You'll do it, too.' I didn't know what kind of weight that would carry in my life, and I realized a lot of my demons I had to battle came from moments like those. But we got over it, and that song is about that catharsis."
