Lola lyrics

I met her in a club down in old Soho

Where you drink champagne

And it tastes just like cherry cola [LP-version: Coca-Cola]

See-oh-el-aye cola

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance

I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said: "Lola"

El-oh-el-aye Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy

But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine

Oh my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand

Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well, we drank champagne and danced all night

Under electric candlelight

She picked me up and sat me on her knee

And said: "Little boy, won't you come home with me?"

Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy

But when I looked in her eyes -

Well, I almost fell for my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

I pushed her away

I walked to the door

I fell to the floor

I got down on my knees

Then I looked at her and she at me

That's the way that I want it to stay

And I'll always want it to be that way for my Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls

It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world - except for Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Well I'd left home just a week before

And I'd never ever kissed a woman before

But Lola smiled, and took me by the hand,

And said: "Little boy, I'm gonna make you a man!"

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man

But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man

And so is Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola
