lyrics

Tell Liza ‘bout me
But honey don’t be truthful
Oh tell her I’m youthful
Handsome and wise

What Liza don’t know
Can’t hurt her none
So don’t mention the bourbon
And my wand’rin’ eyes

I want that gal to know ‘bout my dreams, hopes and fears
I just don’t think she needs to know where I’ve been these last few years

Tell Liza ‘bout me
Don’t mention my affliction
Make it a fine work of fiction
Tell Liza ‘bout me

Tell Liza ‘bout me
And the message you’re sendin’
Can have a fairytale ending
If you make it so

Take a few things out
Keep a little bit of mystery
A little rewrite of history
Is all she needs to know

Want that gal to know that my feelings are sincere
So just tell her the story that we both want her to hear

Tell Liza ‘bout me
And it might turn out well
Only time will tell
Tell Liza ‘bout me
