I've dragged so much stuff off Nevada, I figured it's time to post something.
This is the version from "VU Live 1969" and includes the "Why am I So Shy?"
interlude.
Lisa Says
By Lou Reed
Lisa says on a night like this,
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.
CHORUS:
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.
CHORUS:
Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says, Lisa says
BRIDGE:
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,
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,
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.
CHORUS
