Lying Is The Most Fun Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off
Panic! At the Disco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Well, then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch your skin

I've got more wit
A better kiss
A hotter touch
A better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet
Sweetie you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So I guess we're back to us
Oh, cameraman, swing the focus
In case I lost my train of thought
Where was it that we last left off?
(Let's pick up, pick up)

Oh, now I do recall
We just were getting to the part
Where the shock sets in
And the stomach acid finds a new way to make you get sick
I sure hope you didn't expect to get all of the attention
Let's not get selfish
Did you really think I'd let you kill this chorus?

Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

Dance to this beat
Dance to this beat
Dance to this beat

Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster, faster
Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster

I've got more wit
A better kiss
A hotter touch
A better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet
Sweetie, you had me
Girl, I was it, look past the sweat
A better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me

Let's get those teen hearts beating
Faster, faster

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Will you dance to this beat
And hold a lover close?

So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Dance to this beat
So testosterone boys and harlequin girls
Dance to this beat
And hold a lover close

Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster, faster




Let's get these teen hearts beating
Faster

Overall Meaning

In Panic! at the Disco's song "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off," the lyrics explore themes of jealousy, betrayal, and self-confidence. The first verse begins with a provocative question, implying that the singer is still on the mind of their former lover. The scene is set, with the lights dimming and the clothes coming off, as the singer challenges the other person to think about what they did to end the relationship. The singer then boasts about their own superiority over any male competitor, claiming to be a better kisser, lover, and overall partner.


The chorus incorporates the phrase "testosterone boys and harlequin girls" which implies a certain level of immaturity or superficiality among the singer's romantic prospects. The singer then challenges these individuals to dance to the beat and hold someone close, presenting the idea that physical intimacy can be a substitute for deeper connections.


In the bridge, the focus shifts back to the singer and their former lover, as the cameraman is asked to swing the focus for the next scene. The singer then sets the scene for a dramatic reveal, where the shock sets in and the stomach acid churns. The final verse brings the focus back to the singer and their former lover, with a final plea for attention and validation, asserting that despite any physical flirtations with others, they will always be the one who deserves a better love.

I've been quiet long enough, Brendon Urie, but every time I hear this song it bothers me and I need to say something before I explode.

Testosterone IS a hormone. The word you wanted is ESTROGEN for girls. Both male and female sexes have hormones, testosterone is just what the male hormone happens to be called.

Testosterone boys and Estrogen girls. It EVEN FITS in the song. Just rewrite it.

Tell me you don't know female anatomy without telling me you don't know female anatomy.

It's okay, you were young and dumb and didn't know any better, but you have a chance to fix it now. Get the band back together and make it happen while I'm still breathing please, PLEASE and I'll finally let go.

Wow. Brandon was 18 when this album came out. His voice and his range are like. Vastly different now. Definitely an artist I grew up with, he's only 5 years older than me. And his progression is amazing to go back in retrospect and attempt to grasp. Much respect. Nothin but respect

Marina Victoria

That piano outro will always be haunting and fire at the same time ๐Ÿ˜ญ

i havenโ€™t touched grass since 1965

That part gave me a bunch of ideas for some songs Iโ€™m writing

Kellie Hoffman

I was 13 when this came out. I am now 30 and it is definitely still a banger.
