Fight Fire With Fire
Mr. Myers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't slip or trip when she asks me where I've been (Where you 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 behaviour, 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 realise 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)
Ay
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

I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire

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 behaviour, 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)
Hey
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

I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire

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)
Ay
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)
Oooooh
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

I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire

I'm such a good liar





Liar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Fight Fire With Fire" by Mr. Myers tell a story of infidelity and the lies that people tell in relationships. The singer admits to being a good liar, suggesting that he may have cheated on his partner. He seems confident in his ability to get away with it, saying that he doesn't slip or trip when she asks him where he's been. However, he acknowledges that he's playing with fire and that he may eventually get caught. The line "Living life in disguise, can't keep up with these lies" hints at the stress and anxiety that comes with keeping secrets.


The chorus features a call-and-response between the singer and his partner, with each accusing the other of lying. The repetition of the line "Just admit it" suggests that neither of them are willing to be truthful with each other, and that their relationship is built on a foundation of deceit. The final repetition of "I'm such a good liar" could be interpreted as either a boast or a lament.


Overall, the song paints a picture of a relationship in turmoil, with trust and honesty being in short supply. The singer seems to be aware that his actions have consequences, but he is either unwilling or unable to make a change.
