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

I guess sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
