P!ATD~ Lying Is The Most Fun a 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?
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 his 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 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
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





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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" by Panic! at the Disco are about a sexually charged relationship, where the singer is questioning his lover's loyalty and faithfulness. He starts by asking if he still has power over her, if he is still the one she thinks about in bed. He then references a scenario in which she is undressing with another man and states that he hopes that the other guy was worth it. The lyrics are full of anger and bitterness, highlighting the idea of jealousy and possessiveness. The singer boasts about being better than any other boy she will ever meet, claiming that he is deserving of her love, and that she should look past any physical signs of effort. Towards the end of the song, the singer is addressing his audience, asking them to dance to the beat of the music and hold a lover close.


The song's meaning is somewhat controversial as it presents an unstable and toxic relationship. The lyrics portray a possessive, jealous, and bitter narrator. The lyricist leaves it up to the audience's interpretation whether this is a reflection of his own experiences or if he is building a character. The singer's disdainful attitude towards his partner and his arrogance about being better than any other man indicates a lack of emotional intelligence and maturity. The lyrics suggest that he is more concerned with his sexual prowess than his partner's happiness.

Miss the days when song titles were as long as essays.

@tuckerjohnson1935

Panic, Coheed, and The Devil Wears Prada to name a few. Good ole' mid 2000's music.

@angiesfettuccine0929

That sounds like a song title in itself! I love it!

@karlbenedictperez8655

like this song by mcr? Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us

@themistressofminerals

"Im made of wax Larry, what are you made of?" And "keep in mind, transmogrification is a new form of technology" are my personal favorites
