Lyrics
"Ramona Lisa"
VERSE I
Is that you? Could it be true?
What happened to your braces?
Remember me, period three?
I was always making faces.
Doo dootdodo Doo Doo dootdodo Doo
Coffee shop, had to stop
when I saw you in the window.
Caught my eye, foolish pride,
had me running try to hide.
CHORUS
Ramonalisa, used to tease ya', during recess, back in school.
Ramonalisa, since I've seen ya', know it's me who was the fool.
Ramona lisa... Ramonalisa...
VERSE II
Say hello? I don't know.
I'm not much for takin' chances.
What if you remember too,
how I snubbed you at the dances?
Doo dootdodo Doo Doo dootdodo Doo
Wish I'd been one of your friends.
We could talk about the old days.
When you would hide from some punk guy,
who made faces at you 'til you cried.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Wish I could be the boy who used to hold your hand.
Time can't erase a single face, but, if you'll have me,
I coud be that man.
VERSE III
That subtle smile, more your style
than those tears when you were ten.
Should I pretend, in the end,
that I didn't fall for you again.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Ramona lisa... Ramonalisa... Ramona lisa... Ramonalisa...
My aim was true.
