Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don't do much talking
You say you're happy and doing fine
Well go ahead baby, I got plenty of time
[Verse 2]
Because sad eyes never lie
Because sad eyes never lie
[Verse 3]
Well, for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
[Verse 4]
Because sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
[Verse 5]
Baby, don't you know I don't care
Don't you know that I've been there
Well, something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind
[Verse 6]
I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay baby, I don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Here come all dressed up for a date
Well, one more step and it'll be too late
[Verse 7]
Blue, blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure I'll be standing here
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
I guess sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
