[Verse 1]
So they told me all the things that you said
Runnin' all over my name, oh
And you're acting, oh, so innocent
Like I'm the only one to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been lying to yourself
Lie to everyone else
Only thinking 'bout yourself
Darling, what the hell?
[Chorus]
I know what you say about me
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh (Get me off your mind)
I know you're lying through your teeth
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time (Had enough this time)
[Post-Chorus]
So you can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
Go ahead and try, try, try, try, try
It won't work this time, time, time, time, time
I'll kiss your ass goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye
I'll kiss your ass goodbye
[Verse 2]
So you're telling them it's all my fault
You're the victim this time, oh
And you wanna make it seem like it's your call
You're acting like everything's fine
[Pre-Chorus]
You've been lying to yourself
Lie to everyone else
Only thinking 'bout yourself
Darling, what the hell?
[Chorus]
I know what you say about me
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh (Get me off your mind)
I know you're lying through your teeth
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time (Had enough this time)
[Bridge]
I know what you say about me, oh
You can't get me off your mind
[Chorus]
I know what you say about me (Yeah)
I hope that it makes you happy
You can't seem to get me off your mind, oh (Get me off your mind)
I know you're lying through your teeth (Ooh)
You told them the lies that you told me
I've had enough of it this time (Had enough this time)
[Post-Chorus]
So you can lie, lie, lie, lie, lie (Lie, lie, lie)
Go ahead and try, try, try, try, try
It won't work this time, time, time, time, time (Try, try)
I'll kiss your ass goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye (Goodbye)
I'll kiss your ass goodbye
