  • You don't understand what it is
    That makes me tick, but you wish you did
    You always second guess
    Wonder if I'll say yes
    But you just lose out every time

    If you only knew what I talked about
    When I'm with my friends, just hanging out
    Then you'd have the inside scoop on what to say, what to do
    That way when you play the game
    Baby, you could never lose

    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall?
    A creepy little, sneaky little
    Fly on the wall
    All my precious secrets, yeah
    You'd know them all
    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall?

    You'd love to know the things I do
    When I'm with my friends, and not with you
    You always second guess
    Wonder if there's other guys I'm flirting with
    You should know by now

    If you were my boyfriend, I'd be true to you
    If I make a promise, I'm coming through
    Don't you wish that you could see me
    Every second of the day?
    That way you would have no doubt
    That baby, I would never stray

    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall?
    A creepy little, sneaky little
    Fly on the wall
    All my precious secrets, yeah
    You'd know them all
    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall?

    A little communication
    Well, that'll go a long way
    You're getting misinformation
    Too much hearsay, hearsay
    And what I say is
    Come a little closer
    And what I'm gonna say is

    Don't Ya?
    Don't Ya?
    Don't Ya?
    Don't ya wish you were a?
    Hey

    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall?
    A creepy little, sneaky little
    Fly on the wall
    All my precious secrets, yeah
    You'd know them all
    Don't you wish that you could be a
    Fly on the wall? Writer/s: Antonina Armato, Devrim Karaoglu, Miley Cyrus, Timothy James Price

  • Karen from Manchester, NhI really like the song, and LOVE the video. I had to show my daughter the "Thriller" video so that she would get the joke, and she did.
  • Emily from Derby, United Kingdomthis song was so rubbish it was unbelieveable
  • Steven from Gibsonia , PaThe beat sounds a little like Rock Lobster by the B52's
  • Kitty from Montreal, QcFly on the wall is like the best song from Miley
