He's A Liar
Bee Gees, The · Other Songs - Bee Gees, The
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 you will pay 'cause
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
Liar, he's a liar, and I should know
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 the sweet smell of leather
I was down 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
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
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 the 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
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
He's a liar, he's a liar, and I should know
He's a liar....
He's A Liar
Released in 1970 by The Bee Gees, "He's A Liar" stands as a quintessential example of their early transition from soul-influenced harmonies to the polished pop sound that would define their later career. The track features the group's signature tight vocal arrangements and a driving rhythm section that became a hallmark of their work during the late 1960s and early 1970s. While often associated with their massive 1973 hit "Stayin' Alive," this earlier composition showcases the band's ability to craft sophisticated pop structures with emotional depth. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the era's shift toward more complex production techniques and serving as a precursor to the disco era that would soon follow.
