City girls
just seem to find out early
How to open doors
with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won t 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 feeling down
But he knows where she s going
as she s leaving
She is head ed for
the cheating side of town
*You can t hide
your lying eyes
And your smile
is a thin disguise
I thought by now
you d realize
There ain t no way to hide
your lying 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 awhile
She swears that soon
she ll be coming back forever
She pulls away
and leaves him with a smile
(repeat *)
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 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
