Lyin' Eyes Lyrics by The Eagles

(from the album The Very Best Of)

Lyin' Eyes Lyrics

1.
City girls just seem to find out early
how to open doors with just a smile.
A rich old man an' she won't have to worry,
she'll dress up all in lace an' go in style.

2.Late at night a big old house gets lonely.
I guess ev'ry form of refuge has it's price.
An' it breaks her heart to think her love is only
given to a man with hands as cold as ice.

3.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 leaving.
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town.

Refrain:
You can't hide your lyin' eyes,
and your smile is a thin disguise.
I thought by now you'd realise
there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.

4.
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fi'ry 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.

5.
She rushes to his arms they fall together,
she whispers that it's only for a while.
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever,
she pulls away an' leaves him a smile.

Refrain:
...

6.
She gets up an' pours herself a strong one,
an' 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.

7.
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.

8.
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,
your're still the same old girl you used to be.

Refrain:
...There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes.
