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 style

But 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

So 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 is headin' for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes and your smile has been disguised

I thought by now you'd realize that there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a small one and stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night it's gonna be the long one

She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

My oh my you sure know how to arrange things you set it up so well so carefully

Ain't it funny how you knew life didn't change things

You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin' eyes...

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes honey you can't hide your lyin' eyes
