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 going as she's leaving
|
She's headed for the cheatin' side of town
|
You can't hide your lyin' eyes and your smile has been disguised
|
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 waiting
|
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
|
She drives on through the night anticipating
|
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 pulls 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 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...
|
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
