Lola
Iggy Azalea Lyrics

Loaded gun, that's how she feels
She feels like a dangerous weapon, ready to destroy whoever gets in her path

Hard as stone, she aims to kill
She is tough and unyielding, with a clear goal of taking down her enemies

She hides her fears and burns it all
She keeps her vulnerabilities to herself, using her anger as fuel to destroy everything in her path

You can't get even, you'll be lost
If someone tries to retaliate against her, they will be overwhelmed and defeated by her fierce nature

I'm saying, "Hey, Lola!"
The artist is addressing Lola directly.

She can get a little jealous
Lola sometimes feels envious or possessive

Oh, loca
This Spanish word means 'crazy,' emphasizing Lola's wild and unpredictable nature

She can be a drama
Lola can create or become part of chaotic situations

But her soul is pure
Despite her rough exterior, Lola has a good heart and pure intentions

Drowns in tears but keeps on shining
Lola experiences intense emotions but never loses her inner light

Just keep on shining
The singer encourages Lola to keep being herself and stay strong

I love drama and rumors

I like talking my shit
The singer enjoys boasting and talking about themselves

Can't stop cuttin' people off

Get my scissors, lil' bitch

Need a padded room and chains, I'm out my brain

Might need a straight jacket

'Cause all my thoughts are doin' backflips

Look, I'm pretty, I'm petty, I pop like confetti

'Cause shit can get deadly, so don't make me jelly

I been on my worse, I let bridges burn

You hoes never learn, you scared go to church

Don't open your mouth, I'm a jawbreaker

Been in car chases, I'm a lawbreaker

I'm insane, might regret it later

But don't you love my bad behavior? (Yeah)

You love how I hold grudges

Might throw some punches

But you're not judging I'm your psycho

You love how I talk crazy then call you baby

No you can't tame me I'm your type, though
The artist's love interest is attracted to their wild and uncontainable personality

I'm an angel and a demon
The artist has both good and evil qualities

Happy when I act the meanest
The artist finds joy in being cruel and causing pain

I think like all my nights are sleepless
The singer's mind is always active and restless, even at night

This feels like paradise and dreamin'
The artist enjoys the excitement of their turbulent lifestyle

Well, maybe you the reason

Found my lover, it's killing season

I'm Loca, la Vida Loca, no controlla'

Ain't sober, don't get me started

Got a motor, my motive is bipolar thought I told ya

Cut-throat, yeah, I'm hard to handle

Got a short fuse, don't light my candle

Might tell a lie just to start a scandal

Lola, I don't blame you

I'm the same as you
The singer shares the same qualities as Lola

Just don't let 'em change you

Or tighten up your screws

Nanana, slow down, slow down

Lalala, my playground, playground
The singer feels that the chaos and drama of their life is like a playground or source of entertainment
