Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, I'll tell you that
I never ever really wanted you to crop me out of this picture
Exposure sold me faster
I'll tell you what you want to hear if it will make you smile
We're getting deeper, we're going faster
Does this mean that we are getting closer?
Lisa Marie
I'm becoming more aware of the things that you do to me
Oh, Lisa Marie
Together just you and me
I, I, I, I know what you're thinking before you do
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Why don't you come over here and give me some action?
I'll tell you what you want to hear if it will make you smile
We're getting deeper, we're going faster
Does this mean that we are getting closer?
Lisa Marie
I'm becoming more aware of the things that you do to me
Oh, Lisa Marie
Together just you and me
Lisa Marie
Oh, what you do to me
Oh, Lisa Marie
Together just you and me
You tell me that you want it more than ever
You tell me that you want me
Tell me that you need me, baby, oh baby
So I'll show you a good time if you want to be mine, baby
Oh baby, forget the things your mother told you
I want to do more than just hold you
Lisa Marie
Oh, Lisa Marie
Together just you and me
Oh, Lisa Marie
Oh, what you do to me
Oh, Lisa Marie
Together just you and me
In "Lisa Marie," Artist vs. Poet sings about a relationship where the singer is trying to please their partner by telling them what they want to hear, but at the same time, they don't want to be excluded from the picture. The first verse talks about shutting out the world and confiding in each other. The lines "I never ever really wanted you to crop me out of this picture/Exposure sold me faster" suggest that the singer wants to be included in their partner's life and doesn't want to be left out. The chorus, which repeats the name Lisa Marie, talks about the singer becoming more aware of the things that she does to him and how they're getting closer.
The second verse switches the focus to Lisa Marie, with the singer saying "I know what you're thinking before you do/Why don't you come over here and give me some action?" suggesting that Lisa Marie might be hesitant or shy. The chorus repeats, and the bridge brings back the singer's insecurity and longing to be included in Lisa Marie's life. However, they're also trying to assert their dominance by saying "I'll show you a good time if you want to be mine, baby/Oh baby, forget the things your mother told you/I want to do more than just hold you," implying that the singer wants a more physical relationship.
Overall, "Lisa Marie" is a catchy song with a mix of insecurity and bravado that reflects the ups and downs of a new relationship.
