Lola

JEAN-PHILIPE VERDIN - LOLA

I met her in a club down in old soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
C-o-l-a 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
L-o-l-a lola la-la-la-la lola

Well Im not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my lola la-la-la-la lola
Well Im not dumb but I cant understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my lola la-la-la-la lola la-la-la-la lola

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy wont you come home with me
Well Im not the worlds most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my lola
La-la-la-la lola la-la-la-la lola
Lola la-la-la-la lola la-la-la-la 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

Well thats the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my lola
La-la-la-la lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
Its a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for lola
La-la-la-la lola

Well I 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 dear boy Im gonna make you a man

Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad I'm a man
And so is lola
La-la-la-la lola la-la-la-la lola
Lola la-la-la-la lola la-la-la-la lola
