Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But if you don't say what you are thinking
And I won't take too kindly to it
Well, all I want is something special
And you can't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
'Cause you're a liar, liar liar
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laaahaa
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, naahaaa
Say it if you want to, and say it if you choose
Because if you don't say what you are thinking
No I won't take too kindly to it
Well, all I wanted was something different
And you couldn't give it to me
And all you do is lie to me
So you're a liar, liar, liar
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laaahaa
I will run, I will fight
I will take you through the night
Night, night, laahaaa
Laahaaa, laahaaa
I will fight you, I fight you
I'll find it in you, liar
Liar, liar, liar
That you're a liar, liar, liar

Say it if you want to, and say it if you will
If you have something to say, don't be afraid to say it
But if you don't say what you are thinking
But if you keep your thoughts hidden, I won't be happy
And I won't take too kindly to it
I won't tolerate you keeping things from me
Well, all I want is something special
I want a relationship that's unique and meaningful
And you can't give it to me
But you're not able to provide that for me
And all you do is lie to me
Instead, you keep deceiving me
'Cause you're a liar, liar, liar
And that only makes you a liar, liar, liar
I will run, I will fight
I'm not backing down, I'm determined to make this work
I will take you through the night
I'll be with you through the challenges and uncertainties
Night, night, laaahaa
Even when it's dark and difficult
Say it if you want to, and say it if you choose
I'm encouraging you to be honest and open with me
No I won't take too kindly to it
I won't be happy if you're not truthful with me
Well, all I wanted was something different
I wanted a relationship that was unique and meaningful
And you couldn't give it to me
But you weren't capable of providing that for me
So you're a liar, liar, liar
Instead, you chose to keep lying to me
I will fight you, I fight you
I'm not afraid of confrontation
I'll find it in you, liar
I won't let you off the hook until you tell the truth
Liar, liar, liar
Because I know that you're just a liar, liar, liar

You're beautiful and that's for sure
You'll never ever fade
Your lovely, but it's not for sure
And I won't ever change
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby all I need for you to know is...
Your faith in me brings me to tears
Even after all these years
And it pains me so much to tell
That you don't know me that well
And though my love is rare
And though my love is true
I'm like a bird
I'll only fly away
I don't know where my soul is (Soul is)
I don't know where my home is
And baby…
