Originally, “Ah! Leah!” was an anti-war song. Its title was a phonetic chant, not a woman’s name. But Iris noticed that it also sounded like the name of a girl he’d liked when in The Jaggerz, years earlier.

Ah! Leah! Lyrics
Leah
It's been a long, long time
You're such a sight
You're looking better than a body has a right to
Don't you know we're playing with the fire
But we can stop this burning desire
Leah
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
Is it ever gonna end?
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
I see your lips
And I wonder who's been kissing them
I never knew how badly I was missing them
We both know we're never going to make it
But when we touch
We never have to fake it
Leah
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
Is it ever gonna end?
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
We ain't learned our lesson yet
Baby, it's no good
We're just asking for trouble
I can touch you
But I don't know how to love you
It ain't no use
We're headed for disaster
Our minds said no
But our hearts were talking faster
Leah
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
Leah, Leah, Leah
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
Leah
We're never, ever, ever gonna make it, yeah
Ah! Leah!
Here we go again
Ah! Leah!
We're never gonna make it
Ah! Leah!

What did Donnie Iris say about "Ah! Leah!"?
Mark and I wrote that together in my basement, around the piano, and originally Mark had the idea of an anti-war song…It started out just as a chant – it’s not a chick’s name, it’s not a certain person or individual, in particular. We wanted to have a hook, or a chorus, to the tune, that sounded alm...
