| 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
|
| Late at night, a big, old house gets lonely
|
| I guess every form of refuge has it’s 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 feelin' down
|
| But he knows where she’s goin' as she’s leavin'
|
| She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| 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
|
| There ain’t no way to hide your lyin' eyes
|
| Honey, you can’t hide your lyin' eyes |
