Why should you try to be much taller than you are
Why do you try to hang a little out so far You say you're right, when you are wrong And though you're weak, you believe you're strong Why should you try to be much taller than you are You are always, telling people you are the best But it's not so, when they put you to the test So come on, let's be fair and square Take what is yours, but please leave my share Why should you try to be much taller than you are O-oh! You will never reach the top like that, my friend And though you think your up, you will fall down, in the end It is time for you to realise And try and be your little size Why should you try to be much taller than you are [x3] |

I met her in a club down in Old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola See-o-l-a cola She walked up to me and she asked me to dance I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola L-o-l-a Lola And I'm not dumb but I can't understand Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola We drank champagne and danced all night Under electric candlelight She picked me up and sat me on her knee And said, "little boy, won't you come home with me" Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy But when I looked in her eyes I almost fell for my Lola L-o-l-a Lola la-la-la-la Lola Lola L-o-l-a 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 Well, that's the way that I wanted to stay And I always want it to be that way for my Lola Lo-la Lola Girls will be boys and boys will be girls It's a mixed up, muddled up, shooked up world except for Lola Lo-la la-la-la-la Lola Well, I left home just a week ago And I'd never kissed a woman before But Lola smiled and took me by the hand And said little boy I'm gonna make you a man Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man But I know what I am, I'm glad I'm man And so is Lola |

Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour And with every drop of rain You know I love you more Let it rain all night long Let my love for you go strong As long as we`re together Who cares about the weather? Listen to the falling rain Listen to it fall And with every drop of rain I can hear you call Call my name right out loud I can here above the clouds And I`m here among the puddles You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain Listen to it rain. ... Listen to the pouring rain Listen to it pour And with every drop of rain I can hear you call Call my name right out loud I can here above the clouds And I`m here among the puddles You and I together huddle. Listen to the falling rain Listen to the rain. Listen to the falling rain Listen to it rain. Listen to the falling rain Listen to it rain. Listen to the falling rain Listen to it rain. Listen to it rain. |
