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 that 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

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's headed for the cheating side of the town

But you can't hide your lying eyes

And your smile's a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realise

Ah there ain't no way you can hide your lying eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting

With fiery eyes and dreams no one can steal

She drives on through the night anticipating

Cos 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 tells him she'll be coming back forever

Then turns away and leaves him with a smile

But you can't hide your lying eyes

And your smile's a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realise

Ah there ain't no way you can hide your lying eyes

She gets up and pours herself a brandy

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 so crazy

She thinks about a boy she knew at school

Did she get tired or did she just get lazy

She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

Ah Janie girl you sure know how to arrange things

You set it up so well so carefully

It's funny how your new love didn't change things

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

But you can't hide your lying eyes

And your smile's a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realise

Ah there ain't no way you can hide your lying eyes

But you can't hide your lying eyes

And your smile's a thin disguise

I thought by now you'd realise

Ah there ain't no way you can hide your lying eyes
