Late at night that 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 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 (C)hide (F)your lying (C)eyes,
And your (Amin)smile(Emin) is a damned dis(G)guise.
I thought by (C)now(Cmaj7) you'd rea(F)lise,
There (Dmin)ain't no way to (G)hide your lying (C)eyes.

On the other side of town a boy is waiting,
With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal.
She glides 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 coming back forever.
She pulls away and greets 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.

You can't (C)hide (F)your lying (C)eyes,
And your (Amin)smile(Emin) is a damned dis(G)guise.
I thought by (C)now(Cmaj7) you'd rea(F)lise,
There (Dmin)ain't no way to (G)hide your lying (C)eyes.

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 (C)hide (F)your lying (C)eyes,
And your (Amin)smile(Emin) is a damned dis(G)guise.
I thought by (C)now(Cmaj7) you'd rea(F)lise,
There (Dmin)ain't no way to (G)hide your lying (C)eyes.
