Lisa says, on a night like this

It'd be so nice, if you gave me a great big kiss

And Lisa says, honey, for just one little smile

I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says

Lisa says

Lisa says, oh, no

Lisa says

Lisa says, honey, you must think

I'm some kind of California fool

The way you treat me just like some kind of tool

Lisa says, hey baby, if you stick your tongue in my ear

Then the scene around here will become very clear

Lisa says, oh no

Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby

Lisa says, oh, no

Lisa says

Hey, if you're looking for a good time Charlie

Well, that's not really what I am

You know, some good time Charlie

Always out, having his fun

But if you're looking for some good, good lovin'

Then sit yourself right over here

You know that those good, those good times

They just seem to pass me by, just like pie in the sky

And Lisa says, on a night like this

It'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss

And Lisa says, hey baby, for just one little smile

I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Let me hear you now

Lisa says, oh, no, no

Lisa says, hey, don't you be a little baby

Lisa says, oh, no

Lisa says

Why am I so shy

Why am I so shy, Gee, you know those

Good good times, they just seem to pass me by

Why am I so shy

First time I saw you I was talking to myself

I said, hey, you got such pretty, pretty eyes

(That pretty eyes)

Now that you're next to me I just get so upset

And Lisa, will you tell me, why am I so shy

Why am I so shy

Why am I so shy, well, you know that those

Good, good times, they just seem to pass me by

Why am I so shy

And Lisa says, on a night like this

It'd be so nice if you gave me a great big kiss

And Lisa says, honey, for just one little smile

I'll sing and play for you for the longest while

Lisa says, oh, no, now

Lisa says, hey don't you be a little baby

Lisa says, oh, no

Lisa says
