every day here you come walking

i hold my tongue, i don't do much talking

you say you're happy and you're doin' 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

because sad eyes never lie

but baby don't you know i don't care

don't you know that i've been there

well if 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 you come all dressed up for a date

well one more step and it'll be too late

blue blue ribbon in you hair

like you're so sure i'll be standing there

like sad eyes never lie

like sad eyes never lie

like sad eyes never lie

like sad eyes never lie
