Joan Armatrading - Liza Lyrics

Liza - Joan Armatrading

I see you lookin' at me
I know we're from a different side 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 don't need no friend
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
I see something in you. I see, how come they don't?
You're a good person and they'll come around
Hey! - Let me take your hand - hey, hey, yeah!
I can see you've changed, you don't need no friend
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Let the good times roll
Everybody say, "Don't hang around with Liza
She's from the other side of town
Phah- where folks live on welfare
Phah- where you find needles on the ground
It's the side where the kids hang out
And 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 cool
I'm going to make up my own mind
I'm going to make up my own mind
I see you lookin' at me
I know we're from a different side 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 don't need no friend
So let the good times roll, let the good times roll
Let the good times roll, let the good times roll
