Lola

[Kinks]

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne
and it tastes
just like cherry-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
la-la-la-la 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 la-la-la-la 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 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
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
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 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
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
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
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
