Na-na, na-ayy-ayy
I don't slip or trip when she asks me where I've been (where you've 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 behavior, 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 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)
Ayy
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 (woah)
I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)
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 behavior, 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)
Ayy
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 (woah)
I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)
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)
Ayy
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)
Ooh
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 (woah)
I can't help myself, I keep playing with fire (woah)
I'm such a good liar
Na-na, na-na, na, na
Ooh woah, yeah
Na-na, na-ayy-ayy
Liar
The lyrics of N-Dubz Ft. Mr. Hudson's "Playing With Fire" describe two individuals who are in a complicated and tumultuous relationship. The first person experiences guilt for cheating on their partner but is able to hide it well by lying or avoiding the subject. The second person suspects that their partner is being unfaithful and obsessively checks their phone and behavior when they are together. Despite both knowing that their relationship is toxic, they are unable to leave each other and keep playing with fire.
The song highlights how the fear of being alone can drive people to hold onto unhealthy relationships. Both individuals in the song seem to struggle with trust issues and are unable to communicate honestly with each other, leading to more complications in their relationship. The repeated phrase "I'm such a good liar" suggests that both individuals are aware of their own dishonesty, but continue to deceive each other in order to maintain the relationship.
Overall, "Playing With Fire" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of staying in a relationship that is built on lies and mistrust. It emphasizes the importance of honesty and communication in a healthy relationship, and the consequences of ignoring those values.
