Don't Let's Talk About Lisa
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
Gwendolyn was splendid but her tendency to spending
Spun a little out of control
Two nights on the town and
And pretty young Alicia she could take a piece of your heart
And lead you to the light
Lucy Melinda Loretta and Lucinda
We could go on all night but
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
Priscilla was a killer, meaner than Godzilla
But oh what a pretty girl and
Dawn in the dawn with her pom-poms on
She could twirl like a tilt-a-whirl
There's wonderful women all over the world
I've said it again and again
But she whose name must not be spoken
Has it all over all of them so
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start
Let's leave Lisa out of this one
Lisa broke my heart
You can talk about the weather
Cotton or leather
And do you think the Beatles
Shoulda really gotten back together
Talk about the truth
Mantle or Ruth
Fabio, DiMaggio or John Wilkes Boothe
Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start no, no
Don't let's talk about Lisa please sir
Lisa broke my heart
Oh Lisa she's off limits man
Lisa broke my heart
You can talk about Hanson, Marilyn Manson
And do you think they'll ever have a show down in Branson
Talk about desire, Sosa or McGwire
And is we in the fryin' pan or is we in the fire
Talk about what's real and what you really feel
And how's about those mini skirts on Ally McBeal
Talk about the X-Files, Macaroons and mistrials
And did you ever snag your jacket pocket on a turnstile
In the song "Don't Let's Talk About Lisa" by Lonestar, the singer is trying to avoid talking about a woman named Lisa who broke his heart. He goes on to mention several other women he has been involved with or knows, but still insists that Lisa should not be brought up in conversation. He describes how Gwendolyn's spending habits got out of control and how Alicia could take a piece of anyone's heart. He also mentions women named Lucy, Melinda, Loretta, and Lucinda, but finds that Lisa has it all over all of them.
The chorus repeats the plea to not talk about Lisa, even suggesting other topics of conversation like the weather or the Beatles. The singer continues to insist that Lisa is off-limits and broke his heart. He mentions other topics like baseball players Mickey Mantle and Babe Ruth, and the X-Files, but still brings it back to Lisa and how he can't handle discussing her.
The theme of the song is how one person can affect someone so deeply that they can't bear to even hear their name spoken. The singer's heartbreak is evident in his reluctance to discuss Lisa and his desperation to avoid any mention of her. The lyrics portray a sense of hurt and betrayal, but also a desire to move on and avoid any reminders of the past.
