louisa, please come home lyrics
[louisa’s voicemail, spoken]
hey, it’s me. leave a message

[mother]
louisa
please come home, girl
been three long years
since we saw you last

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
louisa

[mother]
i promise you
we’ll leave the past in the past

[louisa]
once a year since i left on my own
my momma’s gonna blow up my telephone

[louisa, mother]
“louisa,”

[louisa]
she cries
[louisa, mother]
“why’d you run away?
the night before your poor sister’s wedding day?”

[louisa]
i admit
i did that purposely
you know my sister carol
wasn’t nice to me
i’m singin’

[the radio]
ooh yeah, baby, gonna hurt ya good
next time, maby, treat me like you should, yeah!

[louisa]
suck it, carol!

my whole plan succeeded flawlessly
except that stupid paul caught a glimpse of me

[louisa, paul]
“louisa,”

[louisa]
he said
[louisa, paul]
“where’s your bus off to?”

[louisa]
i smiled and said
“paul, just got sh+t to do”

off the bus, a couple transfers, then
a train to some new city where i’d start again

but as i left the station

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
(louisa…)

[louisa]
i panicked i’d be found

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
(please come home, girl…)

[louisa]
a fatal complication

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
(come back, louisa)
[louisa]
but as i looked around

n0body sees you
no one at all
didn’t you know, you’re invisible?
blend in the background
a cipher at most
flesh and blood
but a conspicous ghost

n0body sees you
isn’t it queer?
you may be somewhere
but girl, not here
look in their eyes
not a soul do they see
now who is louisa?
she sure ain’t me

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
who is louisa?

[louisa]
seasons passed, i got a place to stay
with darling mrs. jewel, i called mrs. j

louisa, it seems stayed a red hot case
and often on the news they display my face

i’d tense up and shake like such a fool
until i turned to mrs. j and asked, real cool

“oh, don’t i look like her here?”

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
(louisa, louisa…)

[louisa]
i mean, the match was plain!

[mother, paul, mrs. j]
(please come home, girl…)

[louisa]
she took one look and said

[louisa, mrs. j]
“sure, dear
my dear, don’t be so vain”

[louisa]
n0body sees you
no one at all
didn’t you know, you’re invisible?
blend in the background
a cipher at most
flesh and blood
but a conspicous ghost

n0body sees you
isn’t it queer?
you may be somewhere
but girl, not here
look in their eyes
not a soul do they see
now who is louisa?
she sure ain’t me

everything was going great
everything was set, i had a job and all
then a tragic twist of fate
though three years had passed
i had to run into paul

[louisa, paul]
“louisa,”

[louisa]
he cried, with his stupid voice

[louisa, paul]
“you have to come home
and you don’t have a choice”

[louisa]
and as paul paid our taxi
(louisa…)
i had the strangest thought
truth was, i wanted to come back, see
i wanted to be caught

(spoken)
mother?
…it’s good to see you

[mother]
you’re not louisa
nor she before
paul’s brought so many
i’ve simply lost score
it’s breaking our family
it isn’t some game
tell me straight:
what’s your actual name?

[louisa]
louisa —

[mother]
we’re, sure you’d know secrets
that only she’d know
here’s 20 dollars;
i think you should go
one look in your eyes
it’s a stranger i see
you’re not louisa

[louisa]
i am louisa

n0body sees you
no one at all
didn’t you know, you’re invisible?
you blend in the background
a cipher at most
flesh and blood
but a conspicous ghost

n0body sees you
isn’t it queer?
you may be somewhere
but girl, not here
look in their eyes
not a soul do they see
now who is louisa?

(spoken)
she sure ain’t me
