You can't lie to a liar, so don't try
You can't cheat on a cheater, I'll tell you why
You see I've lied myself before, so I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore

You can't sin on a sinner, you better forget it
You can't fake out a faker, you're gonna regret it
You see I fooled around before, so I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore

Yeah, I've lied and I've cheated
But I never, ever thought I'd have it done to me
But now you've gone just as far as I'm gonna to let you go
C'mon, I'm not gonna let you make a fool of me, no, no, no

You can't lie to a liar, so don't try
Oh, you can't cheat on a cheater, I'll tell you why
You see I've lied myself before, so I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore

Yeah, I've lied and I've cheated
But I never, ever thought I'd have it done to me
But now you've gone just as far as I'm gonna to let you go
C'mon, I'm not gonna let you make a fool of me, no, no, no

You can't lie to a liar, so don't try
Oh, you can't cheat on a cheater, no, I'll tell you why
You see I've lied myself before, so I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore

You see I've lied myself before, so I think I know the score
You don't love me anymore

Yeah, I've lied myself before, so I think I know the score
