===================

Kinks, The - Lola

===================



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 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 Id 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 Im 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
