Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met her in a club down in old SoHo
Where they 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
[Verse 2]
I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight, she almost broke my spine
Oh, my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
I'm not dumb, but I can't understand
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh, my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
[Verse 3]
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?"
I'm not the world's 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
[Verse 4]
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I went down on my knees
And I looked at her, and she at me
[Verse 5]
That's 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
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
[Verse 6]
Well, I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said, "Little boy, I'm gonna make you a man"
[Verse 7]
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
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
