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
