Papal Reign

I never meant to cause you sorrow

I only meant to cause me gain

I only wanted to one time get elected

I only wanted to see you let me get the papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

I only wanted to see you, baby, give me papal reign.

I never wanted to be your weekend ruler.

I only wanted to be your Pope and friend.

Baby I don't want to be any crueler.

It's such a shame my popeship had to end.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

I only wanted to see you give me papal reign.

Honey, I know, I know, the church times are changing.

It's time we all reach out for someone new.

That means me too.

You say you want a leader,

But you can't seem to make up your mind.

I think you better do a conclave,

And let a new cardinal take the papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

Papal reign, papal reign.

I only wanted to see you see me in my papal reign.
