City girls just seem to find out early |
|
|
How to open doors with just a smile |
|
|
A rich old man, and she wont’ 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 |
|
|
| |
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 a while |
|
|
She swears that soon she’ll be comin’ back forever |
|
|
she pulls away and leaves him with a smile |
|
|
|
|
|
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 shool. |
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
|
|
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin’ eyes |
|
|
Honey, you can’t hide your lyin’ eyes |
