'Lisa' songs

I set forth to see what songs were written about persons that share my name, Lisa.

Cat Stevens - Sad Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69RXBQe5RYg

"She hangs her head and cries on my shirt
She must be hurt very badly
Tell me what's making you sadly?"

"Lisa Lisa, sad Lisa Lisa"

Ben Folds - Losing Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4HqEIxzhC0&feature=related

"The lights are off again
She took me by surprise
She's so sensitive
This sh*t just happens sometimes"

"Black tears are falling down her face
And I am wrong
Black tears are falling and she won't say what I've done"

"Losing Lisa, losing Lisa, losing Lisa
And there's nothing i can do"

Lonestar - Don't Let's Talk About Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zcvszDA7Bc

"There's wonderful women all over the world
I've said it again and again
But she whose name must not be spoken
Has it over all over all of them"

"Don't let's talk about Lisa
Don't let's even start no, no
Don't let's talk about Lisa, please sir
Lisa broke my heart"

Weezer - Oh Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja2ZDugvkmo

"Running circles overboard
I'm wanting to, I wanna do you"

"Oh Lisa, can you love me again?
I'll be holding on to then"

"And if this is our last goodbye
I would love to see you cry
I'm wanting to, I wanna do you"

Prince - Lisa

"Lisa, let's go to the movie
Lisa, let's go
Lisa, let's go to the village
Lisa, let's go
Tell your man, he'll understand
Lisa, let's go"

"It's alright, I don't care
Long as you know
Somwhere, some day
We'll be together"

Maths and Physics Club - La La La Lisa
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEcwJKvbI8Q

"It was 1988 at the go-go club
She was selling t-shirts at the punk rock show
I spent half the night with some clever line
Waiting at the back of the key
I lost my nerve and let the next boy through"

"She had the prettiest eyes
Painted black like her lips
I would have died for just one kiss"

"There is nobody else
How could they compare?
I don't want any other girl, oh yeah
Just Lisa. La la la Lisa"


HOW DEPRESSING.
Am I subject to the same fate as my other fellow Lisa's?
First I'm a goth girl selling t-shirts at the 'go'-go' club (La La La Lisa), then some guy wants to 'do' me over and over (Oh Lisa), then I' being tempted to cheat on my boyfriend (Lisa), then I suddenly leave my boyfriend who writes a song about it (Losing Lisa), then he can't bear to say me name and condemns my name being spoken (Don't Let's Talk About Lisa), then obviously I hear about this and become sad (Sad Lisa).

I'm feeling so low right now it's not funny. But I know i'm just being silly because these songs are just written about other Lisa's. I'm hoping one day someone will write a nice song about 'Lisa'.
Until next time, La La La Lisa.
