Liar, Liar Lyrics
The Castaways
Lyrics
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
Ask me, baby, why I'm sad
You've been out all night, I know you've been bad
Don't tell me different, know it's a lie
Come to me, honey, see how I cry
Why must you hurt me, do what you do?
Listen here, girl, can't you see I love you?
Make a little effort, try to be true
I'll be happy, not so blue
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
If you keep on tellin' me those lies
Still goin' out with other guys
There'll come a day I'll be gone
Take my advice, won't be long
When that day comes, won't be mad
Be free of you, but I'll still be sad
In spite of your cheatin', still love you so
I'll be unhappy if I let you go
Liar, liar, pants on fire
Your nose is longer than a telephone wire
