Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lola my love
Sure knows how to treat her man
Lola my love
She does everything a woman can
When I come home one thing on my mind
She knows just what I'm lookin' for
And in the morning after
I say
Lola you sure can love
Lola-Lola
Lola-Lola

Races are run




Some people win
Some people always have to lose

Ok I am so happy I discovered buckingham nicks

@LFire12

Love this Album so many great tracks. Whatever about what happened later, they really did bring the best out of one another (even when things had gone off the rails). If I recall correctly, this (like Stefanie) is about Stevie, but she didn't want Lindsey using her name as the context was pretty evident, and so it became Lola.

@jonnymoka

This song is so
Good I had to listen again and again and again.

@ChrisGarmon

Massive "The Chain" vibe going on here

@blakeennis4746

This song was used as the basis for "The Chain".

@Ethan-de3we

This and "keep me there" were used heavily in making that song

@FfukieBonga

Sections of this track were 'spliced' into The Chain using old fashioned tape and razor blade to combine the elements. Actually, apart from the drums and bass the whole track is created from previously recorded songs (Check Christine McVie's Keep Me There to hear the original chord structure) and with heavy use of the 'Tape Splicing' method. Simply genius!

@th1rock

Like, duh.

@zodspeed

This album really proves that Lindsey Buckingham was the sound of Fleetwood Mac.

@TheCenteroftheUniverse

Bob Welch would like a word.
