Lyrics - Lola by The Kinks

I met her in a club in old
Sohowhere you drink champagneand it tastes like cherry cola
See-oh-el-aye cola.she walked up to meand she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voiceshe said
Lola
El-oh-el-aye
Lola la la la la
Lola.
Well
I'm not the world's most physical guybut when she squeezed me tightshe nearly broke my spineoh my
Lolala la la la
Lola.
Well
I'm not dubbut
I can't understand whyshe walked like a woman and talked like a manoh my
Lola la la la la
Lola la la la la
Lola.
Wellwe drank champagne and danced all nightunder electric candle lightshe picked me up and sat me on her kneeand said "
Dear boywon't you come home with me ?"
Well
I'm not the world's most passionate guybut when
I looked in her eyes
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 on my kneesthen
I looked at herand she at me.
Wellthat's the way that
I want it to stayand
I always want it to be that wayfor my
Lola la la la la
Lola.
Girls will be boysand boys will be girlsit's a mixed upmuddled upshook up worldexcept for
Lola la la la la
Lola.
Well
I left home just a week beforeand
I'd never ever kissed a woman beforebut
Lola smiled and took me by the handand said "
Dear boy
I'm gonna make you a man."
Well
I'm not the world's most masculine manbut
I know what
I amand
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.
