Bad Liar
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna distract myself
But then I see your face
Oh wait, that's someone else
Oh tryna play it coy
Tryna make it disappear
But just like the battle of Troy
There's nothing subtle here
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Oh every time I watch you serpentine
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
Oh with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
I see how confusion builds
It's like looking in a mirror
You look like you are doing well
But still all we do is fear
What could possibly happen next
Can we focus on the love?
But that look upon your face
If you're there I'll be enough
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
Ooh every time I watch you serpentine
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
Oh with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
And oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Oh, oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Not to think about you
No, no, no, no
Not to think about you
Oh with my feelings on fire
Guess I'm a bad liar
The song "Bad Liar" by the KIDZ BOP Kids talks about struggling to move on from someone you have feelings for. The singer admits to trying to distract themselves and play it cool around the person they like, but they find it impossible to do so because the object of their affection is always on their mind. The lyrics are full of conflicting emotions - on one hand, the singer is trying not to think about the person they like, but on the other hand, they're drawn to them like a moth to a flame.
The song speaks to anyone who has ever experienced unrequited love or struggled to get over a crush. The metaphor of the battle of Troy represents the singer's internal struggle to hide their feelings, while the line "with my feelings on fire, guess I'm a bad liar" is a clever play on words that suggests the singer's emotions are impossible to conceal.
Overall, "Bad Liar" is a relatable and catchy pop song that captures the ups and downs of falling in love.
Line by Line Meaning
I was walking down the street the other day
I was taking a stroll down the street recently.
Tryna distract myself
Trying to keep my mind occupied.
But then I see your face
Until I saw your face among the crowd.
Oh wait, that's someone else
Oops, that's not you, it's merely someone who looks like you.
Oh tryna play it coy
Attempting to act aloof.
Tryna make it disappear
Trying to conceal my attraction towards you.
But just like the battle of Troy
Like the Trojan War, this situation is an obvious one.
There's nothing subtle here
There is no ambiguity here, the attraction can be seen in the open.
Ooh you're taking up a fraction of my mind
You are occupying a small space in my thoughts.
Oh every time I watch you serpentine
Each time I observe you moving in a sinuous manner.
Oh I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
I am making an effort, a great effort.
Oh tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin' I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Making an effort over and over again.
Not to think about you
I don't want to think about you.
Oh with my feelings on fire
My emotions are intense.
Guess I'm a bad liar
My attempts to hide my feelings are not effective.
I see how confusion builds
I understand how ambiguity can lead to misunderstanding.
It's like looking in a mirror
It's like seeing myself in you.
You look like you are doing well
You appear to be doing fine.
But still all we do is fear
Despite that, we're still afraid of what's next.
What could possibly happen next
What will happen after this?
Can we focus on the love?
Can we concentrate on our affection?
But that look upon your face
However, the expression on your face gives me pause.
If you're there I'll be enough
If you are present, I will be content.
And oh baby let's make reality, actuality, a reality
Let's turn our hopes and desires into reality.
Oh, oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
Oh, I'm working hard, really hard.
Not to think about you
I don't want to think about you.
Oh with my feelings on fire
My emotions are intense.
Guess I'm a bad liar
My attempts to hide how I feel are futile.
