Whatever Nola Wants
Words and music by Julie Black
Well she blew in from the city of New Orleans
Suitcase full of dark surprise
She always felt like she was separate
And you could see it when you looked into her eyes
Oh...it all went down when she came to town
Oh...it all went down when she came to town
Yeah when she was young she knew too much sorrow
So many turned a deaf ear to her cries
She took more blows than many ringside fighters
There are scars beneath the surface of sweet lies
Oh...it all went down when she came to town
Oh...it all went down when she came to town
Now whatever Nola wants, Nola gets
She's takin' names, and we're placin' bets
No one here knows who will survive
Yeah when you do bad things it comes back to you
What's done is done and it's all through
When Nola's the only one to walk out alive
Now some folks knew how she'd been hurtin'
But when they had a chance they turned and walked away
Deep inside she burned with resentment
She never was deserving of the pain
Oh...she's churnin' black like a hurricane
Oh...silver metal in hand gonna kill the pain
Chorus X2
Well she blew in from the city of New Orleans
Suitcase full of dark surprise...
