"Ooh La" lyrics - THE KOOKS

In their eyes is the place that you finally
Discover that you love it here, you've got to stay
On this rock not a rock, an island
On which you found a love within you twitch
You felt that itch in your petticoat
Your pretty, pretty petticoat

And then you smiled, he got wild
You didn't understand that there's money to be made
Beauty is a card that must get played
By organisations

But ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
But ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

The world can be a very big place
So be yourself, don't fit out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood

And don't be a star, it's such a drag
Take care of yourself, don't begin to lag
It's a hard life to live, so live it well
I'll be your friend, not to pretend
I know you girl
In all situations

But ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty petticoat
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty petticoat
In all situations

And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
But ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
But ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
