If I had no time for sleeping
And I had no time for favors
And a friend of a friend said they were in need
I'd try to ease the weeping
'Til the sun wakes up the neighbors
Leave for work and put my faith in the caffeine
Don't you wonder how I am still standing
When my shoulders have been pushing them all higher
But don't you call me crazy for giving in to the demanding
Just call me what I am
I'm an honest liar
And if my worst enemy
Asked me to be his best man
I'd fly him out to Vegas with all his buddies
And charge it all to me
'Cause I am just a yes man
Throw the biggest party this world has ever seen
Just put it under "fool in the tuxedo"
As you book the most expensive choir
But don't you call me crazy while my wallet funds his ego
Call me what I am
I'm an honest liar
Of all the things I say and all the things I do
I guess there have been a few things that have not been true
It's easier to say it's fine like I don't give a damn
Hand me the impossible and I will say I can
And if I would be confronted
By a crying former lover
I would welcome her with open arms
Say that man's cruel heart was stunted
And no one was above her
Then watch her go and seek another's charms
Don't think I'll deceive you 'cause I don't mean to
For though I smile I'm an internal crier
And don't you think I'm crazy for everything I put me through
Call me what I am
I'm an honest liar
Call me what I am
I'm an honest liar
Just call me what I am
I'm an honest liar
