lyrics

Remember that time we made out in my bedroom?
You said you didn’t plan for it to happen
But I know you’re keen on my discriminating fashion
I’m not like the other girls at Bayside

High school romance doesn’t mean much in the long run
But if we took it further, I know we could’ve had some fun
You’d carry my books and I’d wear your jacket
Cinnamon and Sugar on primetime TV

I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that you want me
I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that you want me
People say you’re into Kelly, but I think you know better
Cause I’m special

What if we’d gotten married?
And had two little kids
With caramel skin and dusty blond hair
I don’t care that you’re a preppy and you’re failing all your classes
I think you’d make a really great dad

Everyone would wanna be us
An interracial dream
I’d be build a fashion empire
You’d make us rich with crazy schemes
You’d roll the dice on wall street
Michelle Obama would wear my dresses
Could you have done that with Kelly Kapowski ?

I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that you want me
I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that you want me
People say you’re a bad boy, but I know that you’re good

Gimme a
B-A-Y-S-I-D-E
Gimme a
B-A-Y-S-I-D-E
Gimme a
B-E-L-D-I-N-G
Gimme a
L-I-S-A
Turtle

I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that I want you
I’m Lisa Turtle and I know that I want you
People say you’re a bad boy, but I know that you’re good
Because of your SAT score
