  • People always make me crazy
    Love me last, don't love me maybe
    What's the point in singing silly love songs?
    Who do they think they are to tell us?
    Make me sad and make my jealous
    Don't believe a word cos they are so wrong

    Lola, Lola

    Oh sex and lies and mystery
    They don't bring out the best in me
    Keep jumping from one lover to another
    Friend or foe the time will tell you
    But do not make a mess of me
    I made the same mistake over and over

    (Oh) Lola, I've made up my mind
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time

    Lola, oh Lola

    Oh why pretend to be so jaded
    It's so easy just to hate it
    Everyone can love you for a dollar
    But when you find your lust for real
    You'll beg and borrow, cheat or steal
    Trying to get some money just to call her

    (Oh) Lola, I've made up my mind
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time

    Like a fish out of water
    It picks you up and it puts you down
    Why do we even bother
    When there's only one way out
    And we both know it, Lover

    (Oh) Lola, I've made up my mind
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time
    And I'm not going to fall in love this time

    Oh you could stop it if you try
    Love makes you laugh, it makes you cry
    The oldest game in history, repeating.
    The oldest game in history, repeating.

    Oh Lola
    Oh Lola baby it's just another love song
    Oh Lola baby it's just another love song

    Oh Lola, I've made up my mind
    And Lola baby it's just another love song
    Oh Lola baby it's just another love song

    (Lola, lololollala lalala)

    Lola baby, it's just another love song Writer/s: BEN GARRETT, JODI MARR, MICHAEL PENNIMAN
