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 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
goin' as she's leavin';
She's 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 lying 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
Cos' he makes her feel the way
she used to feel
She rushes to his arms they
fall together
She whispers that its only
for a while
She swears that soon she'll be
coming 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 lying 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 lying eyes.
There ain't no way to
hide your lyin' eyes
