She goes away and leaves him with a smile
With fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
Late at night a big old house gets lonely
Songwriters: Glenn Lewis Frey, Don Henley
She wonders how it ever got this crazy
You set it up so well, so carefully
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
So she tells him she must go out for the evening
On the other side of town a boy is waiting
You're still the same old girl you used to be
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
She whispers, "It's only for a while"
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
My oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style
And your smile is a thin disguise
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool
How to open doors with just a smile
And your smile is a thin disguise
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things?
She gets up and pours herself a strong one
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
City girls just seem to find out early
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
And your smile is a thin disguise
She drives on through the night anticipating
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
I thought by now you'd realize
I thought by now you'd realize
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel
