Lyin' Eyes Lyrics - Dave Dudley

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 

And your smile has been disguised 

I thought by now you'd realize 

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes 

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
