Fly On The Wall )
miley cyrus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't understand what it is
That makes me tick
But you wish you did
You always second guess, wonderin
I say yes but you just lose out every time

If you only knew what I talked about
When I'm with my friends just hangin out
Then you'd have the inside scoop
On what to say, what to do
That way when you play the game
Baby you can never lose

Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall
A creepy little sneaky little fly on the wall
All my precious secrets, yeah
You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall

You'd love to know, the things I do
When I'm with my friends, and not with you
You always second guess, wonderin
There's other guys I'm flirting with
You should know by now

If you were my boyfriend, I'd be true to you
If I make a promise, I'm comin thru
Don't you wish that you could
See me every second of the day
That way you would have no doubt
But baby, i would never stray

Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall
A creepy little sneaky little fly on the wall
All my precious secrets, yeah
You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall

A little communication
That'll go all the way
You're getting misinformation
Too much hearsay, hearsay

And what I say is
Come a little closer
And what I'm gonna say is

Don't You
Don't You
Don't You
Don't you wish you were a?
Hey!

Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall
A creepy little sneaky little fly on the wall
All my precious secrets, yeah




You'd know them all
Don't you wish that you could be a fly on the wall

Overall Meaning

In "Fly on the Wall," Miley Cyrus addresses the idea of someone not understanding her and always second-guessing her actions. She sings about how her friends know her better than her significant other, and if her partner was a fly on the wall while she hangs out with her friends, they could learn things that would help them in their relationship. The chorus repeats the idea of wishing to be a fly on the wall to learn her precious secrets and get a better understanding of what she does.


The theme of the song is almost voyeuristic in nature, with the desire to know intimate details about someone's life. The lyrics suggest that the singer has secrets that they would never share, and if the person they were in a relationship with could know those secrets, there would be no doubt or hesitation. It speaks to a larger idea of the need for open communication in relationships and suggests that without it, there will always be doubt and uncertainty.


Overall, "Fly on the Wall" is a catchy pop song with a relatable theme for many people. It speaks to the idea of wanting to know more about someone you care about and the struggle to communicate effectively in a relationship.
