Lying Eyes Lyrics by Jim Cathcart

Fireside Songs

0

[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 draws 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 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 7]
So 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 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
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
