V-1
Like an eagle on the lookout 
She hunts for love in every face
But with each who tries to love her
Comes another dream to fade
Well, the daddy of her babies, he’d give her anything
But he could never touch her soul or make it sing.

CH
Lila, it’s not what you had in mind
Lila, you were hopin’ for a world divine
Oh oh Lila, Lila Lila.

V-2
At the bar slingin’ beer backs 
Blanco tequila and lime
She checks her compact mirror 
To fix her lipstick lines
How I love to listen to her stories from a bygone time
Ah the champagne and velvet, and rendez-vous sublime

Bridge
No second chance
She’d give to lonely lovers
To taste her lips
Beneath a starry sky

V-3
She draws her hand from her pocket 
Turns to wave goodbye
She’ll make her own way back
In the wanin’ light
To the bitty girls with the golden curls and sleepy eyes
Who cry for Lila to sing them lullabies

CH
Lila, it’s not what you had in mind (not what you’d think you’d find)
Lila, you were hopin’ for a world divine (hopin’ for a world divine)
Oh Lila, Lila Lila
Oh oh Lila, Lila Lila
Oh oh Lila, Lila Lila
