I saw him stumble through the door, With that wide-eyed look I’d seen before— Another lonely boy, With a need for joy… oh boy! [Verse 1] He came to me in that neon haze, Half a pint and a sideways gaze. Didn’t ask me much, but I knew his type, A little lost, a little ripe. I said, “Darlin', let’s not pretend, You’re lookin’ for more than just a friend…” [Chorus] 'Cause I’m L-O-L-A, Lola, that’s me— Not your dream, not your fantasy. I’m real, I’m wild, I’m what I please, A kiss with bite and sugar tease. L-O-L-A, Lola—gotta let me be. [Verse 2] He danced like he’d forgotten shame, Didn’t care I played no game. My voice was deep, my laugh was loud, I held his hand, he seemed so proud. But when the light hit just so bright, He blinked, then froze—"Am I right?" [Chorus] But I’m L-O-L-A, Lola, take the floor— I’ve been called much worse before. You liked my lips, my moves, my sass, So don’t go judging just 'cause I got class. L-O-L-A, Lola—baby, I got more. [Bridge] You said, “I’m not sure what you are…” Well honey, I’m the brightest star. If you need to label me, You’re not quite ready to be free… [Final Chorus] So here’s to L-O-L-A, Lola, say it loud— I'm not ashamed, I'm damn well proud. You danced with me, you felt the spark, So why go dim when it’s getting dark? L-O-L-A, Lola—shine through the crowd. [Outro] Lola… yeah that's me… The queen of Soho’s mystery. Take it or leave it—but don’t pretend— That night was real, my little friend.

Die andere Perspektive

Lola erzählt die Begegnung aus ihrer eigenen Perspektive. Sie fordert, als wirklicher Mensch mit eigener Identität gesehen zu werden, und beantwortet die Unsicherheit ihres Gegenübers mit Humor und Stolz.
