Lyin' Eyes

(albüm: All The King's Horses - 1976)

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 heading for the cheating side of town

You can't hide your lying eyes and your smile has been disguised
I thought by now you'd realize that there ain't no way to hide your lying 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 lying eyes and your smile has been disguised
I thought by now you'd realize that there ain't no way to hide your lying eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes, honey, you can't hide your lying eyes
