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

C#m B   C#m B   G#m F#  E  B
Lo-la, haaaa  Lo- la haaaa

Sex and lies and mystery
They don’t bring out the best in me
Keep jumping from one lover to another
Thank you for the time you’ve taken
Cleaning up the mess I’m making
Make the same mistake over and over

C#m B        C#m        B    G#m              F#       E         B
Lo-la, I've made up my mind, I'm not going to fall in love this time
C#m B        C#m        B    G#m              F#       E         B
Lo-la, I've made up my mind, I'm not going to fall in love this time
C#m B C#m B    G#m F#   E  B
     haaaa   Lo- la  haaaa

Why pretend to be so jaded?
It’s so easy just to hate it
Anyone can love you for a dollar
But when you find your love's for real
You’ll beg and borrow, cheat and steal
Trying to get the money just to call her

Chorus:
Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time
Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time

E    G#m                             D#m                            G#m
Haaa Ha-aa Like a fish out of water, it picks you up then spits you out
                       D#m
Why do we even bother, when there's only one way out
E
And we both know it, Lover

Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time
Lola, I’ve made up my mind
I’m not gonna fall in love this time

You can’t stop it if you try
Love makes you laugh, love makes you cry
The oldest game in history, repeated
You can’t stop it if you try
Love makes you laugh, love makes you cry
The oldest game in history, repeated

Lola, ah
Lola baby’s just another love song
Lola, ah
Lola baby’s just another love song
Lola, I’ve made up my mind
Lola baby’s just another love song
Lola, I’ve made up my mind
Lola baby’s just another love song
