Lying eyes  Eagles

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man and she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feeling down
But he knows where she's going as she's leaving
She is headed for the cheating side of town

*You can't hide your lying eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lying eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
With firey eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms, they fall together
She whispers it's only for a while
She swears that soon she'll be coming back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile (*)

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night - it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head and cries

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired, or did she just get lazy
She's so far gone, she feels just like a fool

My, oh my
You sure know know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be (*)
說謊的眼神  老鷹合唱團

都會女孩很早就明白
用微笑就能登堂入室
只要能釣到有錢的老頭,什麼都不用煩惱
她會打扮得滿身綴飾,時髦有型

夜深了,豪宅大院顯得孤寂
我想每一種型式的庇護都得付出代價
想起她那唯一的愛,她就傷心
竟給了雙手冷冰冰的男人

她告訴他,今晚她得出門一趟
去安慰一位心情沮喪的老友
出門時,他很清楚她的去向
她欺騙他,到了城的另一邊去

你掩飾不了你那說謊的眼神
你的笑容是淺淺的偽裝
我想你應該明白
你根本無法掩飾你說謊的眼神

城的另一邊,有個男孩在等著
有著火熱的雙眼和偷不走的夢想
她充滿期待的徹夜開車
因為,他讓她有一種似曾相識的感覺

她撲向他的懷裡,兩人倒成一團
她輕聲細語了一會兒
她發誓說很快就會回來
給他一個微笑,然後離開

她起身,給自己倒了一杯烈酒
抬頭凝視著天上繁星
又一個夜晚,一個漫長的夜晚
她拉上窗簾,然後垂下頭哭了起來

她思忖著:怎會如此瘋狂?
想起了唸書時認識的一個男孩
她是倦了?還是懶了?
這次真的玩過火了,覺得自己好傻

老天!
你當然知道如何安排
你計畫得如此週詳細心
但可笑的是,你的新人生沒什麼改變
你還是從前的那個女孩

 當格倫佛萊和唐亨利一同住在比佛利山莊時,兩人經常到一間最愛的酒吧餐廳吃飯。那裡經常有美女出現,而且大多是和肥胖、有錢的老男人出雙入對。很明顯的,這些年輕的已婚女子為了錢而背叛丈夫在外面偷吃,他們倆不禁這樣想。

 " She can't even hide those lying eyes. 她甚至無法掩飾說謊的眼神。 "格倫佛萊不禁脫口而出,這便是" Lying eyes "的原始靈感。回到家後,兩人開始寫歌,花了兩個晚上就完成了" Lying eyes "。

 " Lying eyes "收錄在老鷹合唱團 1975 年的專輯《 One Of These Nights 》,這首帶有濃厚鄉村搖滾風味的單曲發行後,最高曾上升至全美百大單曲榜的亞軍位置。專輯中這首歌長達 6 分 22 秒,單曲版則刪減了第二段歌詞、第二次副歌和第三段歌詞中間四句歌詞,歌曲長度為 4 分 14 秒。

 隔年的葛萊美獎上," Lying eyes "獲得了年度最佳唱片的提名,並為老鷹贏得最佳流行演唱團體的殊榮。
