Lisa Punch is an Afro-Guyanese American singer-songwriter. Not too long ago, she released her latest single, “Fool for Ya”, featured on her “Perfectly Imperfect” EP.
Lisa Punch – “Fool for Ya”
Lisa Punch’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young girl captivated by a charismatic figure on television, her imagination running wild with dreams of a future intertwined with his. The imagery of her sitting, eyes glued to the screen, highlights a childlike innocence and admiration, as she’s drawn to his polished appearance in a suit and tie and the almost otherworldly charm of his voice. The phrase “your voice was magic, a little angelic” suggests a mesmerizing quality, elevating him to an almost divine status in her youthful mind, while her daydreams of becoming his wife reveal the naive, hopeful fantasies of a girl swept away by infatuation.
The tone shifts slightly as Lisa reflects on her own vulnerability, admitting, “silly of me to think that I’d be your wife. I’m a fool for ya.” This self-awareness adds a layer of bittersweet maturity, acknowledging the foolishness of her childhood crush while still confessing the lingering pull of her feelings. The word “fool” carries both self-deprecation and a sense of surrender, as if she’s helplessly caught in the spell of this figure, despite knowing her dreams were unrealistic. Through these lyrics, Lisa captures the universal experience of youthful longing and the tender ache of unrequited admiration, blending nostalgia with a touch of wistful humor.
