I was stood by the light as I looked through the window
With the greatest intention not meaning to see
I was there in the dark and I saw you together
You were up in his arms , I was down on my knees
Get the cards on the table
No need to pretend
You've got to be cruel to be kind
He can sell you his love and you know yo will pay 'cause

He's a liar
He's a liar and I should know liar
He's a liar and I should know - ahhh

Well, they told me I fell but I just don't remember
I was standing face down, they were there at my feet
There was smoke in the air and sweet smell of leather
I was through the window and down in the street
Well, I'm cold and I'm hungry but I'm still alive
And it's not how I want it to be
There's a hand on my shoulder
He said I'll survive ,but-

He's a liar
He's a liar, and I should know liar
He's a liar,and I should know-ahhh

Release
Was it not for the man that was blocking the drive
Was it not for the red limousine
I'd be millions of miles from th scene of the crime
And somehow in this madness believe she was mine -but

I'm a liar
He's a liar
And I should know liar
He's a liar
And I should know-ahhh
He's a (repeat and fade)

Bee Gees

The Bee Gees were a musical group founded in 1958. The group's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a pop act in the late 1960s/early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang three-part tight harmonies that were instantly recognisable; Robin's clear vibrato lead was a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. The brothers wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. more »
