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 go in a style

 

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 leavin'

She is headed for the cheating side of the 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 waitin'

With firery eyes and dreams no one could steal

She drives on through the night anticipatin'

'Cause 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 coming back forever

She goes away and leaves him with a smile

 

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 you knew life didn't change things

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