Jessie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your kiss can't be that sweet
How can you stare so long and not see a thing?
Boy you're not fooling me
Baby when I whisper your name
You try not to smile
But that gives it away
The smoke's getting higher
You say there's no fire
But you're a good liar
You're a good liar
You claim you don't miss me at all
Well tell me why you still call?
You see there's no jealousy
But if I find someone else I bet you?d fight for me
Baby when I whisper your name
You try not to smile
But that gives it away
Baby when we tangle up
The smoke's getting higher
You say there's no fire
But you're a good liar
You're a good liar
It's getting late you're running out of time
My soul can't wait for you to make up your mind
You say it ain't easy to fall into me
You say you won't love me
You say you don't love me
Baby when I whisper your name
You try not to smile
But that gives it away
Baby when we tangle up
The smoke's getting higher
You say there's no fire
But you're a good liar
You're a good liar
Liar
In the song "Liar" by Jessie James, the singer directly challenges her partner's honesty within their relationship. She sees through his facade and calls him out on his lies. She notices his eyes and kiss seem insincere, and when she whispers his name, he tries to suppress a smile, yet claims there is no fire when there clearly is smoke. The singer expresses that she does not intend to compete with anyone else for his affection, but she is aware that he would fight for her if she found someone else. The final verse reveals that the singer is growing tired of waiting for her partner to commit to her fully, as he claims it is difficult to fall in love with her and that he will never love her.
These lyrics convey the singer's frustration and skepticism towards her partner's intentions. She desires more authenticity from him and is aware that he is not telling the complete truth about his feelings. The repeated mention of smoke and fire is a metaphor for the relationship's passion, and its implied danger adds intensity to the situation. The singer has clearly had enough of the uncertainty and the game-playing in the relationship, and wants her partner to be honest with her about his true emotions.
