  • Ooh woah, yeah
    Na-na, na-ayy-ayy

    I don't slip or trip when she asks me where I've been (where you've been)
    One big smile on my face, zip it darling, it's just you and me (you and me)
    Now I'm on some Alfie behavior, I'll call you back later
    Too many fish in the sea for me
    But when the lights come on, and what's her name is gone
    I realize where I'm supposed to be

    I tried to believe every word of your sweet story
    But intuition keeps telling me
    You're making a fool outta me

    'Cause I'm such a good liar
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    Yes you did it (no I didn't)
    Ayy
    I'm playing with fire
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    I know you did it (no I didn't)
    Yes you did
    'Cause I'm such a good liar (woah)

    I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)

    Thoughts running right through the night as I watch you sleep
    (She's gettin' closer)
    I can't help but check his text, while he's passed out next to me
    (It's only a matter of time)
    I'm on some CSI behavior, who's gonna save ya
    You'll be the fool when the truth comes out
    So when those lights come on, and what's her face is gone
    We're straight back to the same routine

    I tried to believe every word of your sweet story
    But intuition keeps telling me
    You're making a fool outta me

    'Cause I'm such a good liar
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    Yes you did it (no I didn't)
    Ayy
    I'm playing with fire
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    I know you did it (no I didn't)
    Yes you did
    'Cause I'm such a good liar (woah)

    I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)

    Living life in disguise, can't keep up with these lies
    You do anything to try and catch me out, but I never leave no signs
    In my heart we was meant to be
    But guys like me be like two or three
    I can't help myself I love girls, I can't kick out playing with fire

    I can't kick out playing with fire
    Playing with fire
    Playing with fire

    She ain't goin' nowhere
    Know why?

    'Cause I'm such a good liar
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    Yes you did it (no I didn't)
    Ayy
    I'm playing with fire
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    I know you did it (no I didn't)
    Yes you did
    'Cause I'm such a good liar
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    Yes you did it (no I didn't)
    Ooh
    I'm playing with fire
    Just admit it (I never did it)
    I know you did it (no I didn't)
    Yes you did
    'Cause I'm such a good liar (woah)

    I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)

    I'm such a good liar

    Na-na, na-na, na, na
    Ooh woah, yeah
    Na-na, na-ayy-ayy
