Steve Miller - Ladder of Lies Lyrics

You said hey little girl I love you when you knew it wasn't true
You said hey little girl I love you when you knew it wasn't true
Just to get what you wanted
That poor girl was true to you

You keep climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
You been climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
It ain't you it hurts the most but the one to whom lies you told

You're a big hat with no cattle that's what they say about you out West
Yeah, you're a big hat with no cattle, that's what they say about you out West
But man to hear you tell it, aw, you're the best

You keep climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
You been climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
It ain't you it hurts the most but the one to whom lies you told

Liar liar liar liar
Gonna set more than your pants on fire
Liar liar liar liar
Gonna set more than your pants on fire

You ought to be a politician you could be a big success
You ought to be a politician, man, yeah, you could be a big success
Take the money from their pockets, and the shirt from under their vest

You keep climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
You been climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
It ain't you it hurts the most but the one whose lies you told

You been lying for so long, you're starting to believe it yourself
You been lying for so long, you're starting to believe it yourself
Cause the truth don't come easy
Lyin's gonna take you straight to hell

You keep climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
You been climbing that ladder of lies the higher you climb the deeper you go
It ain't you it hurts the most but the one to whom lies you told

Liar liar liar liar
Gonna set more than your pants on fire
Liar liar liar liar
Gonna set more than your pants on fire
Liar liar liar liar liar liar liar liar
Make it burn
