Overview
"Oh Lisa" was recorded during the sessions for The Green Album, and was at one time considered for placement on the album. However, it was relegated to b-side status shortly before mastering, and eventually turned up on multiple Green-era singles, as well as a wrestling soundtrack compilation. It was sometimes mistakenly conflated with the 1994 Rivers Cuomo song "Lisa" prior to the latter's release.
An early mix of the song, featuring a different vocal take and different drum patterns in the chorus, was leaked online prior to the album's release. It was one of fourteen unmastered Green mixes leaked.
Personnel
- Rivers Cuomo – lead guitar, lead vocals

Lyrics
Simple stages in my mind
Now I'm running out of time
I'm wanting to
I wanna do you
Taking stock of feelings stored
Running circles overboard
I'm wanting to
I wanna do you
Oh, Lisa
Can you love me again?
I'll be holding on 'til then
Only old enough to tell
What is right and what is hell
I'm wanting to
I wanna do you
And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
I'm wanting to
I wanna do you
Oh, Lisa
Can you love me again?
I'll be holding on 'til then
You got me holding on 'til then
Oh, Lisa
Can you love me again?
I'll be holding on 'til then
And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
I'm wanting to
I wanna do you
I wanna do you
I wanna do you
I wanna do you
