NO NO NO NO-La!!!

He uses female pronouns all through the song because he THINKS (s)he's a 
woman.

The line at the end is something like:

	Well, I'm not the world's most passionate man,
	but I know what I am, what I am is a man
	and so is Lola (L-O-L-A) Lola.....

The part about walking like a woman is fairly early in the song.

P.S. Celluloid heroes aside, what's this doing on net.movies?
