Lyin' Eyes Lyrics - Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 - The Eagles

Lyin' Eyes 

Eagles 

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 now way to hide your 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
