Lisa Says (Live 1969) Lyrics

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 wasting 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 down 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

Cover art for Lisa Says (Live 1969) lyrics by Velvet Underground, The

This version is so great. The fleshed-out lyrics are better than the studio version, and the performance is really ahead of its time. It sounds like any 21st century indie ballad, but these guys were doing it back in the days of psychedelic hippie crap.
