Hello Lisa

Lisa Loeb Hello Lisa Lyrics
1.Did That

My forehead's splitting, I can feel a separation.
And me, here, full of life, waiting for that magic conversation.
That's why I thought that you should see her.
She'll tell our future.
Don't believe her.
Did you ask about love and forever
or did you ask her for her number.
I didn't go to the psychic myself
cause she didn't even know that I was
out of town
when I called
out of town
when I called.
I did that sitting on the bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallway, sitting on the bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I used to win at cakewalks on a Sunday afternoon,
stop on Lucky 11.
We'd bring the cake home, in the back seat, in the station
wagon.
Such a strange prize.
I did that sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I did that.
I smile, I show my teeth.
I smile, I show my teeth.
I make space.
I make space.
I lay back.
I lay back.
We were empty tonight.
We talked about the television.
Only I was talking, only I was talking.
Is this a future disaster? -Full of omens?
I don't believe in fate.
We talk about about a bad sign.
I think about a cut off date.
So I memorized your kiss
I memorized your lips
I memorized your kiss
I memorized your lips.
I did that,
sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
I did that.
Sitting on a bedroom floor.
Carpeted hallways, sitting on a bedroom floor.
Are you my cake?
Is this my fate?
What a strange prize
I want to taste.
I did that.


2.Underdog

I like things that are so good.
You are so, so good.
I like you.
But I am the underdog,
I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy,
don't stand in back of me.
Freezing, boring,
wondering where I'll be on my birthday.
You kissed me in a dream last night.
How could I?
I wouldn't know.
Cause I am the underdog,
I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy,
don't stand in back of me.
Will you be my friend?
Now I understand that I more than like you.
But I am the underdog,
I am the last in line.
Don't be the enemy,
don't stand in back of me.
I like things that are so good.
You are so, so good.


3.You Don't Know Me

She's got a boyfriend all of a sudden.
She's never had one before.
She's looking for the thumbs up when they're walking through the
door.
She's showing him off by making him talk.
She's putting her hand in his pocket.
It shows on her face, what she doesn't say,
what she doesn't say.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
She doesn't know that we know,
that we've been there before.
We always pay attention when she walks through the door;
it's the clothes that she chooses,
it's the words that she uses.
She says, 'You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.'
She's trying hard to pretend that it's not really happening,
but we can see her smiling from afar,
we don't see her much anymore,
but we can hear her whistling as she walks to her car.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.
You don't know me.
You don't know me at all.


4.Drops Me Down

I walked away to get wisdom,
but in the end I just walked home,
and it drops me, drops me down,
and I'm not feeling so good again.
It was the same song,
and it's making me sad,
cause I think that it's happened,
and it hasn't been had,
and it drops me, drops me down,
and I'm not feeling so good again.
And I'm injured again,
and it's sick and I'm sucked in.
Yeah, I'm at it again,
it's sick and I'm sucked in,
it's sick and I'm sucked in.
Cause I had something so dear
slip away and leave me here,
and it drops me, drops me down,
and I'm not feeling so good again.
Yeah, it drops me, drops me down,
and I'm not feeling so good again.


5.The Way it Really Is

I kept talking to myself,
I had to get the words out of my head.
(so I did)
You barely said a thing,
you kind of heard me out and then you said,
(you said)
'You're crazy,
why do you keep doing this?
Everything is fine.'
Then I think I'm crazy
I do this all the time.
Until I start to think that nothing's even wrong
Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion.
Maybe we're just a picture in my head.
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was.
Maybe I don't want to see it the way it really is.
Sometimes your intentions are totally impossible to read.
(What does that mean?)
Sometimes even I have no idea what I need.
(I wish I did.)
I'm crazy
Why do I keep doing this?
Everything is fine
then you think I'm crazy
I do this all the time
Until I start to think that something's really wrong.
Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion.
Maybe we're just a picture in my head.
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was.
Maybe I don't want to see it the way it really is.
Looking through my window at the big, blue sky
The lazy sun is shining, so I run outside
To look for you, I look for you
and then it starts to rain.
Is that the way it really is?
Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion.
Maybe we're just a picture in my head.
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was.
Maybe I don't want to see it the way it really is.
Maybe I am hiding in my own confusion.
Maybe we're just a picture in my head.
Maybe what if it could be the way I wish it really was.
Maybe I don't want to see it the way it really is.
The way it really is.
the way it really is.
the way it really is.


6.Bring Me Up

I was quiet
I was tired
and I wanted you to bring me up.
(I wanted you to make it stop,
I wanted you to bring me up.)
You were wrong
and I was right
and I wanted yuo to bring me up.
(Mmm, you know me well,
this is something that I shouldn't have to tell you.)
We shared humidity, and orange roses,
and poking fun at all our friends.
They have their barbecues, and we have our arguments;
we never can agree.
You said, 'When you don't talk you take it out on me.'
I was quiet
I was tired
and I wanted you to bring me up.
You were wrong
and I was right
and I wanted you to bring me up.
We took a ride on our motorbike.
I couldn't talk to you, but my arms were wrapped
around you tight.
We stopped at Smokey's, parked the bike outside.
So scared to be sad, to keep the tears in I looked up at the sky
and took another ride.
But I was quiet
and I was tired
and I wanted you to bring me up.
You were wrong
and I was right
and I wanted you to bring me up.
We have us.
Is that enough?
What is it worth to you?
We have us.
Is it enough?
and what is it worth to you?
You said,'It's worth everything, hey baby, take a look.
It's worth all the pennies in my pocketbook.'
But I was quiet
and I was tired
and I wanted you to bring me up.
Yeah I was quiet
and I was tired
and I wanted you to bring me up.
So I was wrong
and you were right.
Bring me home.


7.What Am I Supposed To Say?

Waiting for the super buzz, the second dose, the inspiration,
but something strange is going on.
I'm in the middle of another stupid conversation.
I can't believe so many days have gone by since I tried to talk
to you,
but something strange is going on.
I've got both sides of it and I'm waiting for the other one to
come.
(where's the messenger?)
You're too late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay.
Late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he begs to be beside you?
Off and running.
It's stunning, you're caught off guard.
You feel forgotten, afraid of, in the dark.
This fixer upper's not my idea of what you should be after,
not much laughter when you're penciled in.
Sometimes the sun isn't bright enough in your apartment, the
sun.
You have to lean towards the lamp, to get anything done.
But you're too late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he's done something wrong, and he's gonna have to pay.
Late, great,
What am I supposed to say?
That he begs to be beside you.


8.Everyday

Goodbye my love
I am going
I am slowing you down.
I can feel you stop breathing when I come around,
I'm slowing you down.
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Love turns it's back just to stand in my way.
Goodbye my love
You don't get me,
You don't let me inside.
You once held me close when you wanted to hide.
You pulled me in close just to push me aside.
Goodbye.
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Love turns it's back just to stand in my way.
Goodbye my love
I'm going away,
I know you won't follow me far.
Once I went out just to look at the stars.
I asked you to join me, but you were too tired.
I wanted you to see them too.
How could I let myself need you?
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Goodbye my love
I am going
I am slowing you down
I can feel you stop breathing when I come around.
I'm slowing you down.
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday
Everyday love turns it's back just to stand in my way.


9.Someone You Should Know

Who do you think you are?
You're talking so loud,
you bury the sound of your heart that's singing out.
And where do you wanna be?
On the top of your world,
where you're just a girl who forgot what it's like to dream.
You leave everything behind,
But you're so tired,
one day you might open up your eyes to find
What you got isn't what you wanted.
What you need just happens to be
what you got, what you've always wanted.
What you need just happens to be
Someone you should know.
But you tried to hide between the lines of a story never told.
I've seen you run away-
You're afraid of the fall,
the weight of it all is too much.
But you might change your mind.
If you'd stand up one day you might open up your eyes to find
What you got isn't what you wanted.
What you need just happens to be
what you got, what you've always wanted.
What you need just happens to be someone you should know
How do you keep it up?
It's all just a front, a dangerous stunt,
you're gonna come down soon enough.
Open up your eyes.
Don't be scared,
you might find you had it all the time.
What you got is what you wanted.
What you need just happened to be
what you tried so hard to hide,
it was there between the lines of a story never told
about someone you should know.
What you got is what you wanted
What you need just happens to be someone you should know.


10.Payback

Is this how it ends?
Lying in bed, talking to a cheap tape recorder
instead of my friends.
In bed with a low grade fever.
They wanted to know, how could I leave you?
I can't tell them that,
It might sound like revenge.
But some things don't need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.
Is this how it starts?
I was waiting for my head to clear up-
I thought I was smart, I'd find the answers in time.
But the answers I find aren't what you want to hear.
They're not even close.
But some things don't need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up.
I remember good things, like the van breaking down.
I sat on your lap in the auto repair,
and you touched my hair
while the heavy drops rain on the pavement outside.
Don't take revenge,
just let it lie.
The easiest thing is if you just let it die.
Don't give me a chance,
you don't owe me that.
Don't follow me out,
unless you're coming for some payback.
But some things don't need a payback.
Some things are sure, some things you can feel safe about.
Some things don't need a clear up.
Why did I leave?
How long did it take?
It could take forever.
But some things don't need a payback.
You got that?


11.Take Me Back

We used to be best friends
Hanging out in the parking lot
like the day would never end.
You came up with all the plans
I'll be waiting by my window,
In your brother's car you've come to rescue me
cause I need you to
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't.
We used to dream all day.
Play guitar like a rock and roll star
Sing along while the record played
round and round and round
we would never come down
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
Let me go
If I'm the one you're holding on to
Let me go
cause after all this time I know that I'm the one who can't let
go.
Take me out, make me laugh
Never say now I want to go
back home, all alone
and it makes me sad, cause now you won't
repeat chorus
We used to be best friends.
Hanging out in the parking lot like the day would never end.
Take me back.
