Lola
Jean- Philippe Verdin Lyrics

I met her in a club down in Old Soho
I encountered her in a club located in the Old Soho district.

Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola C-o-l-a Cola
In this club, the champagne tastes like cherry cola, which is why he spells out the word cola in the song.

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
She approached me and requested that I dance with her.

I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I inquired about her name, and she responded in a husky tone of voice by saying Lola while also singing out her name with a rhythm of la-la-la-la Lola.

Well I’m 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
Although I'm not athletically built, when she hugged me tightly, it was almost too much to bear, as shown in the lyrics, 'nearly broke my spine'.

Well I’m not dumb but I can’t 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
I'm not unintelligent, but I'm perplexed by the way Lola carries herself; appearing feminine in her movement while having a masculine voice, as heard through different tones in '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
We spent the entire night drinking champagne, dancing in the glow of electric candles. She even lifted me and sat me on her lap while asking if I would like to accompany her to her residence.

Well I’m 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
Even though I don't consider myself highly passionate, when I gazed into her eyes, I almost became infatuated with her, as displayed through the song's repetition: '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
I had a sudden change of heart and, amidst the chaos of standing up and then collapsing to the ground, I fell to my knees to look into her eyes.

Well that’s 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
I decided that what transpired between us is how things should remain, and I want it to be that way forever, hence the repetition of 'La-la-la-la Lola'.

Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It’s a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola La-la-la-la Lola
Gender roles may be mixed up and confusing, but Lola represents simplicity amid it all, as highlighted by the repetition of 'La-la-la-la Lola'.

Well I left home just a week before And I'd never ever kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said dear boy I’m gonna make you a man
I had only left home a week before and had never experienced the sensation of kissing a woman before. However, Lola smiled at me and grabbed my hand, telling me that she would teach me the ways of being a man.

Well I’m not the worlds most masculine man But I know what I am and I’m glad I'm a man And so is Lola La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I don't think I'm the most macho male in the world, but I am aware and satisfied with my identity as a man, just as Lola is content with my masculinity, with an allusion to her name in the repetition of 'La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola'.

Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
The repetition of this phrase throughout the song basically acts as a refrain, emphasizing the importance of Lola and her impact on the singer throughout the narrative of the song.
