Lyin eyes

Your lyin eyes
such a unique
disguise

You tell me of
hopes and promises
and dreams
you wish to come true

Yet, let's look at reality
from a realistic point of view

How we all would like to wave
a magic wand
and make the evil
go away
and to dream of a better day

You tell me you love me
you tell me there is nobody else
while you are laying in the bed
of your secret lover
as he is caressing
your breasts under the covers

You tell me if I love you
then prove it
and come to your
rescue

Yet, we know the truth
behind those lyin eyes
the fool outside looking in
will never win
You will never
compromise

How nice it would be
to trade one set of problems
for another
just to say we are now
finally together

To the fool who chases after
his dream
Be mindful of what you are chasing
not everything we see
is good for us
to be embracing

Lyin eyes seemingly cute
and wise
if only we knew the truth
behind the
disguise

Ah but one day your
lyin eyes
will catch up
to you
then they will be
crying eyes
