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, the big old house gets lonely.
I guess every point of refuge has it's 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 feeling down.
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving.
She's 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 realise,
there ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes!

On the other side of town a boy is waitin',
with starry eyes and dreams no one could steal!
She drives on through the night anticipating,
'cause he makes her feel the way she use to feel.

She rushes to his arms, they fall together.
She wispers how it's only for awhile.
She swears that soon she'll be comming 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 realise,
there ain't no 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 funny how you knew lies didn't change things?
You're still the same old girl you use to be!

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!

There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes!

Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes!
