Sad Eyes (Studio Outtake - 1990)

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

Because sad eyes never lie

Because sad eyes never lie

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

Because sad eyes never lie

Sad eyes never lie

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

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

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
