Lyin' Eyes

City girls just seem to find out early

How to open doors with just a smile

A rich old man and she won't have to worry

She'll dress up all in lace and go in styleLate at night a big old house gets lonely

I guess every form of refuge has its price

And it breaks her heart to think her love is only

Given to a man with hands as cold as iceSo she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feeling down

But he knows where she's going as she's leaving

She's headed for the cheatin' side of townYou can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile has been disguised

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyesOn the other side of town a boy is waiting

With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the night anticipating

'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feelShe rushes to his arms, they fall together

She whispers that it's only for a while

She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smileShe gets up and pours herself a strong one

And stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cryShe wonders how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew in school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?

She's so far gone she feels just like a foolMy oh my, you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well, so carefully

Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?

You're still the same old girl you used to beYou can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile has been disguised

I thought by now you'd realize

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
