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 ev'ry 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 nice 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
