how much do they pay you for a smile?
alone in your own creaming soda world
maybe you were happy for while
Lola you're a star tonight

dont let them pluck you from the sky
Lonely Lola everybody knows
everybody calls themselves your friend
but later on tonight when it gets cold
Lola who's (ah) gonna hold you then?
theres something in your eyes tonight
forget them and take it in your stride tonight
CHORUS:
my friends told me 'bout how you've been getting out
but no-one seems to know your name
slide on through the crowd and let them talk aloud
they only want to hold ya
do they really know ys Lola?

so you say you're lonely Lola, sure
everybody gets that way sometimes
but Lonely Lola you could be the cure
wait it out Lola and you'll be fine
it's easy if you try tonight
dont sit there and keep on asking 'why?'
CHORUS
Lola you're on fire tonight
dont sit there and keep on asking 'why?'
CHORUS
do they really know you Lola
do they really know you Lola
do they really know you Lola
do they really know you Lola
