Radio XVI, side A, track 4: “Little Liar” by Joan Jett and The Blackhearts

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Little LiarOh, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, whoever lied to you must have really done a number on you.  Until I heard this song, even if you were singing about somebody who was screwing you over, you were still growling and screaming those lyrics defiantly.  This was the first time you sounded, dare I say it, vulnerable.  Not completely, of course, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, I mean you can hear your sneer when this guy or gal still wants to sleep with you and you’re like, “Yeah, call me when you’re not such a douche.”  And what’s up with them, anyway, asking to sleep with you after they’ve clearly made you feel so horrible?  I don’t know what they lied about, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, but you’re better off without them.  They sound kinda skeezy.  I, of course, would NEVER lie to you.  So call me sometime.

“Little Liar”

I was taught to never tell a lie

To look you in the eye and tell it like it is

Always thought that you would be the same

It’s such a shame that’s not the way it is

I was fooled by your innocence

And my love for you was so intense

Was our connection only physical

If it got me through the night
Well, too bad, it’s all a lie

Heyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in you
Heyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in you
Heyyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooooooou
Oh-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A simple question makes you look away

Your hesitation
Gives it all away

There’s some protection in the way ya move

If there’s sadness in my eyes
It’s because you’re full’a lies

Heyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in you
Heyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in you
Heyyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooooooou

I believed in yooooooooou

<awesome Joan Jett and The Blackhearts jam>

You wanna sleep with me but hey, that’s tough, tough, tough

Why doncha call me when you’re all grown up

If there’s a change in you I’ll know it’s true

Heyyy, little liaaaaar

I believed in yoooooou
Heyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yoooou
Heyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yoooou
Heyyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooooooou
Heyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooou
Heyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooou
Heyyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooooooou
Heyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yoooou
Heyyyyyyy, little liar
I believed in yooooou
Heyyyyyyyy, little liar
