I see you looking at me 
 I know we're from different sides of town 
 You've never traveled 
 And I've been all around 
 Hey 
 Let me take your hand 
 Hey hey yeah 
 From where I stand 
 You're in need of a friend 
 So let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 


 I see something in you 
 I see it, how come they don't 
 You're a good person 
 And they'll come around 
 Hey let me take your hand 
 Hey hey yeah yeah 
 I can see you change 
 You're in need of a friend 
 So let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 


 Everybody says 
 Don't hang around with Liza 
 She's from the wrong side of town 
 The part where folks live on welfare 
 The part where you find needles on the ground 
 It's the side where the kids hang out in gangs 
 And wear the hoodies 
 And the masks 
 To hide their face 
 If you make friends with a girl like that 
 Well it's a big disgrace 


 Everybody say 
 This that 
 This that 
 This that 
 This that 


 Hey Liza 
 I'd like a friend like you 
 Hey Liza 
 I think you're kind of cute 
 Hey Liza 
 I'm gonna make up my own mind 
 I'm gonna make up my own mind 


 I see you looking at me 
 I know we're from different sides of town 
 You've never traveled 
 And I've been all around 
 Hey Liza 
 Let me take your hand 
 Hey hey yeah yeah 
 Yeah yeah yeah 
 From where I stand 
 You're in need of a friend 
 So let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll 
 Let the good times roll
