[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 goin' as she's leavin'
She is heading for the cheatin' side of town
[Chorus]
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 lying eyes
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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 a long one
She fought the day and hangs her head and cries
[Verse 6]
You wonder 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
[Chorus]
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 lying eyes
[Verse 7]
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 did not change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be
[Chorus]
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
Honey you can't hide your lyin' eyes
