"Lyin' Eyes" Lyrics

(Don Henley - Glenn Frey)

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 headin' 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
That there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.

--- Instrumental ---

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 lyin' eyes
And your smile has been disguised
I thought by now you'd realize
That there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes...
