  • Hey, what's the big idea?
    Yo, Mika!

    I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Hey, love's gonna get you down
    Girl, I said sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Hey, love's gonna get you down

    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    I went walking with my momma one day
    When she warned me what people say
    "Live your life until love is found
    'Cause love's gonna get you down"

    Take a look at the girl next door
    She's a player and a downright bore
    Jesus loves her, she wants more
    Oh, bad girls get you down

    Sing it

    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Mama told me what I should know
    "Too much candy gonna rot your soul
    If she loves you let her go
    'Cause love only gets you down"

    Take a look at a boy like me
    Never stood on my own two feet
    Now I'm blue as I can be
    Oh, love come get me down

    Sing it!

    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    I went walking with my momma one day
    When she warned me what people say
    "Live your life until love is found
    Or love's gonna get you down"

    Sing it!

    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Say love, say love
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

    Mama told me what I should know
    "Too much candy gonna rot your soul
    If she loves you let her go
    'Cause love only gets you down"

    Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, lollipop
    Wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh, lollipop

    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down
    Sucking too hard on your lollipop
    Oh, love's gonna get you down

  • Michael from New York City, NyFinally! A modern-day song where lollipop isn't an obvious metaphor for a penis! I love Mika!
  • Jessie Steele from Bartlett, TnAmy i think i know why Mika isnty a hit here in the states

    Because he's original, and has meaning behind his lyrics lol.
    UIm not saying all american bands are stupid and shallow but the ones now are.
    I love Mika,hes so happy,and you just haver to grinand forget about the bad things that happen when you listen to a song by him
  • Amy from Liverpool, United Kingdomi agree with cassie mika is so damn amazing and he looks great in skinnies
  • E.j from Townsville, Australia"This was a message to my little sister, telling her not to have sex too soon, because it would mean something very different to guys than it would to her, and so be very careful.

    But I had a lot of fun getting my message across in the melody and lyric!

    The little girl is my cousin, one of the most hilarious girls I have ever met. So when the opportunity came up to use a child's voice in Lollipop she was the only person I had in mind.

    I put her up in a snazzy Hollywood hotel and she was completely spoilt for about four days, like a true star."

  • Richel from Santa Ana, Cawe all try to hunt love down...
    but then it isn't so easy to live life and let love enter our lives...
  • Amy from Baltimore, MdI really like Mika. I'm surprised he hasn't had huge success in the states.
  • Kenneth from Johnsonburg, PaIt's a real obvious meaning.
    This is what I got from it:
    Trying too hard to find love is going to ruin it;

    "Sucking to hard on your lollipop
    Oh, loves gonna get you down
    Say love, say love
    Oh, loves gonna get you down."
    Lollipop being love and the sucking attempts to find it. It's just going to bring you down by looking for it, also:
    "I was walking with my momma one day
    When she warned me what people say
    Live your life until love is found
    Or loves gonna get you down."
    Wait for love to come to you, don't go for it. Until the point in which it finds you, live your life. If you look for it, it'll only bring you down.
  • Cassie from Overland Park, KsI love Mika! He's amazing!
