[Verse 1] Lola's gotta learn to love her reflection To pay no mind when she hears rejection All the mistakes that she's making Are due to the risk that she keeps taking [Pre-Chorus] What Lola needs is to write her own story Where she can play the judge and the jury She don't need to paint this town Why can't she just slow it down? [Chorus] Why can't she just slow it down? Why can't she just slow it down? Why can't she just slow it down? [Verse 2] And all them beds that Lola's sharing Is a false smile that she's wearing In her eyes I only see pleading To cut is no formal way of self-healing [Pre-Chorus] She said, darling Inside I am dying And I can't stop the tears I'm crying [Chorus] Well, needles can't fix you, well, drinking won't fix you I told her, Lola, I know all the things that you do She said, darling, I'm losing control I've got no heart and I feel no soul I told her, Lola, You're just so full of doubt You can't see there is a way out [Pre-Chorus] What Lola needs is to write her own story Where she can play the judge and the jury She don't need to paint this town Why can't she just slow it down? [Chorus] Why can't she just slow it down? Why can't she just slow it down? Why can't she just slow it down?
