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 feelin' down
But he knows
where she's goin
as she's leavin
She is 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 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 awhile
She swears that soon
she'll be comin' 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
you lyin' 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 lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide
your lyin' eyes
Honey you can't hide
your lyin' eyes
