Lisa Says Lyrics

    (reed)

    V.u. version
    ------------------------------------------

    Lisa says that it's allright
    When she needs to be alone at night
    Lisa says that she has a fun
    And she'll do it with just about anyone.

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
    Lisa says that she's on the run
    Looking for a special one
    Lisa says that every time she makes his trip
    She knows her heart will beat

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
    Looking for a part and some action
    Going to make it feel okay
    But what do you find
    When the time has come on, now
    Look at it run

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says...


    1969 live version
    --------------------------------------------

    Lisa says on a night like this,
    It'll be so nice if you'd give me a kiss.
    And lisa says for just one little smile,
    I'll sit next to you for a little while.

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
    Lisa says you must be some kind of fool,
    The way you treat everybody so cruel.
    And lisa says you must be a funny kind of guy,
    The way you're always staring at the sky.

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
    If you're lookin for a good-time charlie,
    Well that's not really what i am.
    You know a good-time charlie's wastin time.
    Cause the good-time charlie,
    That's not baby where i am.
    You know that good times just seem to pass me by.

    Lisa says on a night like this,
    It'll be so nice if you'd give me a kiss.
    And lisa says for just one little smile,

    I'll sit next to you for a little while.
    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says

    Why am i so shy, why am i so shy.
    Good times you know they just seem to pass me by.
    Why am i so shy.
    First time i saw you i was talkin to myself
    I said wow she's got such pretty pretty eyes
    Such pretty eyes...

    Now that you are next to me i just get so upset
    Oh will you tell me why am i so shy
    Why am i so shy, why am i so shy.
    Good times you know they just seem to pass me by.
    Why am i so shy.

    Lisa says on a night like this,
    It'll be so nice if you'd give me a kiss.
    Lisa says you must be some kind of fool,
    The way you treat everybody so cruel.

    Lisa says, lisa says, lisa says, lisa says
