Lyin' Eyes

[Verse 1]

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 style

[Verse 2]

Late 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 ice

[Verse 3]

So she tells him she must go out for the evening

To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down

But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'

She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

[Chorus]

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

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

[Verse 4]

On 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

Because he makes her feel the way she used to feel

[Verse 5]

She rushes to his arms, they fall together

She whispers that it's only for a while

She swears that, soon, she'll be comin' back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

[Chorus]

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

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

[Verse 6]

She 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 cry

[Verse 7]

She 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 fool

[Verse 8]

My, 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 be

[Chorus]

You can't hide your lyin' eyes

And your smile is a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realize

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

[Outro]

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

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
