"I'm Not Lisa" was written by Colter and describes the pain that comes with dating someone who has not gotten over their previous lover. Therefore the narrator of the song, Julie, laments the fact that her lover keeps mentioning his previous lover, named Lisa.
While singing on the recording of the original version of the song, Colter also played the song's piano accompaniment on the keyboards. The song was produced by Ken Mansfield and Colter's husband, Waylon Jennings. Both men would also produce Colter's 1975 album, as well as her further releases for Capitol records. The song has since been covered by many artists, including Rosemary Clooney, Marianne Faithful, Tanya Tucker, Faith Hill and noise rock band Killdozer for their 1986 EP Burl, and Nana Mouskouri in a French version. Elizabeth Cook recorded a version for her 2002 album Hey, Y'all. In 2005, Erika Jo recorded a version for her self-titled debut album, and also released it as single to country radio, but it failed to chart. Deana Carter performed a cover of the song with Colter for her 2007 album, The Chain.
