Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And little man little Lola wants you
Make up your mind to have
No regrets
Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through
I always get what I aim for
And your heart and soul is what I came for
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
You're no exception to the rule
I'm irresistible you fool, give in
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
I always get what I aim for
And your heart and soul it what I came for
Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
Take off your coat, don't you know you can't win
You're no exception to the rule
I'm irresistible you fool,
Give in, give in, give in
The song "Whatever Lola Wants" is a seductive and persuasive tune that expresses the idea that Lola always gets what she wants. Lola is a confident and dominant woman who sets her sights on a "little man," whom she desires to have. Throughout the song, Lola uses her charm and allure to persuade the little man to give in to her advances. She encourages him to make up his mind and to have no regrets, to resign himself to her desires and to give in to her irresistibility. She insists that he take off his coat and succumb to her, as she always gets what she aims for.
The song has a powerful and suggestive undertone that suggests a dominant-submissive relationship, as Lola is portrayed as being in control and the little man as her submissive counterpart. The lyrics highlight Lola's seductive power, and her skills at convincing her lover to submit to her wishes. The song is an ode to female empowerment, as it places Lola in a position of power and dominance, able to obtain whatever she desires.
