[Verse 1]
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
With our connection only physical
If it got me through the night
Well that's a lie

[Chorus]
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you oh

[Verse 2]
A simple question makes you look away
Your hesitation gives it all away
There's self-protection in the way you move
If there's sadness in my eyes
It's coming from your lies

[Chorus]
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
I believed in you

[Verse 3]
You want to sleep with me but payback's tough
Why don't you call me when you're all grown up
If there's a change in you I'll know it's true
Hey little liar, I believed in you

[Outro]
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar) I believed in you
(Hey little liar)
(Hey little liar)
(Hey little liar)

Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

After splitting with The Runaways, and releasing her first solo album, Joan Jett placed an ad in LA Weekly looking for bandmates. Gary Ryan, Eric Ambel, and Danny “Furious” O'Brien joined her, creating the orginial Blackhearts lineup.

After their initial tour though, O'Brien was replaced with Lee Crystal.

Early on, keeping the band afloat was not easy. Joan and producer Kenny Laguna struggled, sometimes selling copies of albums from the trunk of his car. Eventually unable to keep up with the demand for Joan Jett’s album, they signed with Boardwalk Records.
