GCity girls just Gmaj7seem to find out Cearly

AmHow to open Gdoors with just a Dsmile

A Grich old man, and Gmaj7she wont' have to Cworry;

She'll Amdress up all in Clace and go in Gstyle

GLate at night a Gmaj7big old house gets Clonely

I guess Amevery form of Grefuge has its Dprice.

And it Gbreaks her heart to Gmaj7think her love is Conly

Given Amto a man with Ghands as cold as Dice.

So she Gtells him she must Gmaj7go out for the Cevening

To Amcomfort an old Gfriend who's feelin' Ddown

But the Gknows where she's Gmaj7goin' as she's Cleavin'

She is Amheaded for the Gcheatin' side of Dtown

You can't Ghide your Clyin' Geyes

And your EmsmilBme is a Amthin disDguise

I thought by GnowG7 you'd reaClize A

There Amain't no way to Dhide your lyin' Geyes

GOn the other side of Gmaj7town a boy is Cwaiting

with Amfiery eyes and Gdreams no one could Dsteal

She Gdrives on through the Gmaj7nice anticiCpating

'Cause he Ammakes her feel the Cway she used to Gfeel

She rushes to his arms,

They fall together

She whispers that it's only for awhile

She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever

She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't Ghide your Clyin' Geyes

And your EmsmilBme is a Amthin disDguise

I thought by GnowG7 you'd reaClize A

There Amain't no way to Dhide your lyin' Geyes

GShe gets up and Gmaj7pours herself a Cstrong one

And Amstares out at the Gstars up in the Dsky

AGnother night, it's Gmaj7gonna be a Clong one

She Amdraws the shade and Ghangs her head to Dcry

GShe wonders how it Gmaj7ever got this Ccrazy

She Amthinks about a Gboy she knew in Dschool

Did she get Gtired or did she Gmaj7just get Clazy?

She's so far gone she feels just like a Dfool

GMy, oh my, you Gmaj7sure know how to Carrange things

You Amset it up so Gwell, so careDfully

Ain't it Gfunny how your Gmaj7new life didn't Cchange things

You're Amstill the same old Ggirl you used to Dbe

You can't Ghide your Clyin' Geyes

And your EmsmilBme is a Amthin disDguise

I thought by GnowG7 you'd reaClize A

There Amain't no way to Dhide your lyin' Geyes
