Lyin’ Eyes - Words and Music by Delight Lester & Bud Johnson

You led me on with your cheep devices of love,
You enchanting smile melted all boundaries of my soul.
To live in darkness I would have died,
I didn’t want to see those lyin’ eyes,
Out of the madness and lookin’ back,
I have to walk forward to stay on track.

But I know there’s no sense in giving,
To someone that only takes.

But I’ve not gained all that strength to fight those lyin’ eyes.
Shadows of my past still hold me back.
I don’t want to make those same mistakes,
Lovin’ someone who knows not love,
Why do you still possess my thoughts?
I don’t know... I’m not blind anymore.

But my heart is still weak,
And still I’m hangin’ on and on and on,
And on and on and on and on.

(Instrumental)

Though time has past seeing you again,
Takes me back,
And there you are with those same lyin’ eyes.
I call to you but you’re weren’t there,
You tried to show that you don’t care.

I know better and I can see,
You still feel something between you and me.
But I know there’s no sense in giving,
To someone that only takes.
