Liar, liar,
Do I smell a fire?
Or is that just her perfume?
Your eyes burn like coals,
As you try to worm your way out of it.
Liar, liar,
Do I smell a fire?
Or is that just the lies rolling off your tongue.
I wish I knew the truth,
But it doesn’t really matter you say.
Liar, liar,
Do I smell a fire?
Or is that me burning you,
Telling you we’re through?
