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, know you've been bad Don't tell me different, know it's a lie Come kill 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
