Liar
►Madcon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I'm stuck on you
So it's so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar
It was the love, pain, sweat, ties
That made me stick
When I was sick of the lies
The years, tears, smiles, fights
And now that I left you
I cry through the night

You was quick to slip
The slicker slice
I was surprised how you kept your calm

And every time you admit deceit
We'd hit the sheets
I started livin' on the bedroom floor
Probably you's a liar
Yeah, tryin' to call the car
Try to leave anytime
But a false alarm
Because you the one that did me wrong
Girl you a liar!

Like the beat don't stop
First let it slide, before I cut in
And suddenly the beat goin' stomp

You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I'm stuck on you
So it's so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar

(I just wanted the truth)
I said she lied to me
Can't believe a word she cries
Cuz she lied to me
No need to work things up
Cuz she's a liar, a pretty bad liar
But she's hot too
Making it hard to move that s*** scene
Cuz it's not true

First I thought I
Never knew a love like this
And this wasn't a first half order?
First I caught her
Givin' it a hooch?
In truth, this love worse
Than my first time order.?
Be real, bet ya man don't lie
That promise'll give the candle fry?
What they say 'bout a man don't cry
Cuz I know it's not love proper
I'm gonna die

You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I'm stuck on you
So it's so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar

I said she lied to me
Can't believe a word she cries
Cuz she lied to me
No need to work things up
Cuz she's a liar, a pretty bad liar
But she's hot too
Making it hard to move that s*** scene
Cuz it's not true.
She seemed to be the truth
(Seemed to be the truth)
I bet she cheated on me too
(Cheated on me too)
She really got me good
(Really got me good)

I said she really got me good
(Really got me good)
Hey you the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I'm stuck on you
So it's so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar

You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I'm stuck on you
So it's so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Cuz you a liar, liar.
(First thing I'd choose
Last thing I need)
Liar, liar, liar
(First thing I'd choose




Last thing I need)
Liar, liar, liar, liar

Lyrics

[Tshawe Baqwa:]
Oooooh-
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm begging

Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out baby
Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out darling

Riding high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast, 'cause I had everything
Walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go
And it would end

[Yosef Wolde-Mariam]
So why anytime I bleed you let me go,
Anytime I feed you get me know
Anytime I see you let me know
But, I planted that seed just let me go
I'm on my knees when I'm ( begging)
'Cause I don't want to lose (you)
I got my arms on spread
And I hope that my heart gets fed
Matter of fact girl I'm begging

[Tshawe Baqwa:]
Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out, baby
Begging, begging you
Put your loving hand out darling

[Yosef Wolde-Mariam:]
I need you, (yeah) to understand
Tried so hard
To be your man
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

[Tshawe Baqwa:]
An empty shell
I used to be
Shadow of my life
Was hanging over me

A broken man
Without a none
Won't even stand the devil's dance
To win my soul

Why we chewing? Why we chasing?
Why the bottom? Why the basement?
Why we got good shit don't embrace it?
Why the feel for the need to replace me?

You're on the wrong way track from the good
I want to paint in the pictures any way we could be at
Like a heart in the best way should
You can give it the away, you had it and you took the pay

But I keep walking on, keep opening doors
Keep hoping for that t



Aynialem Girmay

I hope you sing along

Oh
Put your loving hand out, baby
I'm beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

Riding high, when I was king
Played it hard and fast, cause I had everything
Walked away, won me then
But easy come and easy go
And it would end

So why anytime I bleed, you let me go
Anytime I feed you get me know
Anytime I see you let me know
But, I plan and see just let me go

I'm on my knees when I'm (beggin'g)
Cause I don't want to lose (you)
I got my arms on spread
And I hope that my heart gets fed, matter of fact girl I'm beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

I need you, (yeah) to understand
Tried so hard
To be your man
The kind of man you want in the end
Only then can I begin to live again

An empty shell
I used to be
Shadow of my life
Was hangin' over me

A broken man
That I don't know
Won't even stand the devils dance
To win my soul

Why we chewing, why we chasing
Why the bottom, why the basement
Why we got good shit don't embrace it
Why the feel for the need to replace me
Your the wrong way track from the good
I want to paint in a picture telling where we could be at
Like a heart in the best way should
You can give it the away, you had it and you took the pay
But I keep walking on, keep opening doors
Keep hoping for that the door is yours
Keep also home, cause I don't want to live in a broken home, girl I am beggin'

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

I'm fighting hard
To hold my own
Just can't make it
All alone (all alone)

I'm holding on
I can't fall back
I'm just a calm
'Bout to fade to black

And I can't come home
You call and I can't come home
You call you can't come home
You call and I can't come home
You call [Echoes out]

Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

Put your loving hand out baby
Beggin', beggin' you
Put your loving hand out darling

Música que não sai de moda. Muito bom, ouço sempre!

Marllon Fonseca

Impossível tirar essa música da cabeça, muito foda.

Will C

This and the original are the two best versions of the song. The original is amazing the way it it is and I think this version is a very good more modern iteration of it. I’ll listen to both depending what mood im in.

Jean

Isn’t this the “original”.

AlabamaFan 37

@Jean the original was Frankie valli and the four seasons in the 60s
