Liza Jane
Vince Gill Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got my number
You've got my name
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane

You've got that body
You've got that frame
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane

Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' I won't do
Just one kiss and I'll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh little Liza Jane

Now you've heard my story
You've got to know my name
So why don't you call me
Little Liza Jane

Girl, I got it bad for you
There ain't nothin' I won't do
Just one kiss and I'll never be the same
Little Liza Jane, oh little Liza Jane
Little Liza Jane (ooh, little Liza Jane)




Little Liza Jane (ooh, little Liza Jane)
(Ooh, little Liza Jane, ooh, little Liza Jane)

Overall Meaning

In Vince Gill's song Liza Jane, the singer is completely smitten with a woman named Liza Jane. He is asking her why she hasn't called him despite having his number and knowing his name. The singer is in awe of Liza Jane's body and frame, and expresses that he is head-over-heels, desperately wanting to be with her. He says that all it would take is just one kiss for him to be changed forever. The repetition of the phrase "little Liza Jane" emphasizes the singer's adoration of the woman.


The song can be seen as a classic example of infatuation and unrequited love as the singer is pining for Liza Jane without any indication of her feelings towards him. The pleading tone of the lyrics, especially in the chorus conveys the desperation of the singer.


Overall, Vince Gill's Liza Jane is a sweet, yet sad love song about longing for someone who may not reciprocate those feelings.

I saw him in concert and he was awesome! Actually sounded better than the CD. Amazing performer. One of the best guitar players I've ever seen

stan_sprinkle

I can't believe I'm just discovering him as a guitar player. I grew up listening to him, and grew up playing guitar... I just never realized it was HIM playing all those solos. The solo on this song isn't that hard to learn note for note. Playing it as smoothly and with as much character as he does, different story. So good.

Marsha Parker-Mizell

Ya have to love his beautiful voice! He can sing such a large variety of style This man has what it takes to connect you with the lyrics of the songs he sings. The first time I heard him he was singing, "Nobody Answers When I Call Your Name." Loved him ever since.

Vince Gill

Thanks for your sincere compliment and love. I’m not complete without you as a fan.Stay Safe.

An absolute legend and a genius guitar player

Railfan Bryan

Great song from a great era of Country music! Todays country just doesnt stack up to the '90s country!

Do It Now! video's yeah!

Dig a little deeper. There is good country made in last ten years. It is ok to like certain eras especially but there is still good stuff out there. Hell, even the men got onboard ( for a few years most of the good stuff was female led) like Tyler and Sturgeon and Turnpike Troubadors. I did crack up seeing Judd's included in ' old' country but then I thought it kinda is by now
