Lyrics

Liza

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I see you looking at me

I know we're from different sides of town

You’ve never travelled

And I've been all around

Hey

Let me take your hand

Hey hey yeah

From where I stand

You're in need of a friend

So let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

I see something in you

I see it, how come they don't

You're a good person

And they'll come around

Hey let me take your hand

Hey hey yeah yeah

I can see you change

You’re in need of a friend

So let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Everybody says

Don't hang around with Liza

She's from the wrong side of town

The part where folks live on welfare

The part where you find needles on the ground

It's the side where the kids hang out in gangs

And wear the hoodies

And the masks

To hide their face

If you make friends with a girl like that

Well it’s a big disgrace

Everybody say

This, that

This, that

This, that

This, that

Hey Liza

I’d like a friend like you

Hey Liza

I think you're kind of cute

Hey Liza

I'm gonna make up my own mind

I'm gonna make up my own mind

I see you looking at me

I know we're from different sides of town

You’ve never travelled

And I've been all around

Hey Liza

Let me take your hand

Hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

From where I stand

You're in need of a friend

So let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll

Let the good times roll
