José James – Nola lyrics

There's a girl that I once knew
Who often had a friend a friend or two
She gave them time love of wit and rhyme
Sublime
They would come from far away
And often gather there all day
To show their love
And see which one would stay
But to her it mattered not
For loyalty was not her lot
Her answer was for not for them
To know
There she goes on her merry way
Though she's only queen for a day
Boy and girl often take this world
So you better mind what you say
My advice to you my friend
Is try to find what it's about
And then you take into account your own
Don't you take some sugar in your mouth
That may be sweet to you
But bitter when you feel it later on
What is good for you may not be good for me
So different strokes
For different folks
Could be a real good rule
There she goes on her merry way
Though she's only queen for a day
Boy and girl often take this world
So you better mind what you say
…
There she goes on her merry way
Though she's only queen for a day
Boy and girl often take this world
So you better mind what you say
There's a girl that I once knew
Who often had a friend a friend or two
She gave them time love of wit and rhyme
Sublime
They would come from far away
And often gather there all day
To show their love
And see which one would stay
But to her it mattered not
For loyalty was not her lot
Her answer was for not for them
To know
