Lyrics

Lolita

[Chorus]

Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home

Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home

[Verse 1]

Hey, girl

Don't be a dog all your life

Don't beg for

Some little crumb of affection

Don't try

To be somebody's wife

So young

You need a word of protection

[Chorus]

Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home

[Verse 2]

Hey, girl

I've been where you are standing

Leaning in the doorway

In your mother's black dress

So hungry

For the one understanding

Looking for a token

Of blood or tenderness

[Chorus]

Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home

Lolita

Almost grown

Lolita

Go on home

[Outro]
