Oh, Lolita, you said you were 23
Then they told me you're not a day over 17
How I wish the law wouldn't come between us, my darling
Oh, Lolita, you're my cause of misery

Do you remember the first time that we met?
I was driving around in my ice cream truck
I said, "That's 3 dollars please, but for you I'll make it free
If you'd join me behind the playground at half past 3."

Oh, Lolita, you said you were 23
Then they told me you;re not a day over 17
How I wish the law wouldn't come between us, my darling
Oh, Lolita, you're my cause of misery

It was just an ordinary Halloween before they caught us
I had my basket of special apples for all the kids
You joined me in my unmarked white van for to make sweet love
Then the cops pulled up and the rest is history

Just four more years in this jail cell, and then we'll be together
I will wait for you, will you wait for me?
Who cares what other think of us?
They don't know our love is true.

Oh, Lolita, you said you were 23
Then they told me you're not a day over 17
How I wish the law wouldn't come between us, my darling
Oh, Lolita, you're my cause of misery.
