Ev'ry 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 'Cause sad eyes never lie
(Bridge:) 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 your hair Like you're so sure I'll be standing here I guess sad eyes never lie I guess sad eyes never lie
