Tell Me My Lying Eyes Are Wrong
George Jones · A Good Year For The Roses
And I stopped off for a drink on my way home
I didn't know that you loaned out the dress that I bought for you to wear
Sweetheart tell me my lying eyes are wrong.
I thought I saw him kissing you as you danced across the floor
But I knew that you were with the kids at home
I thought I saw a baby sitter meet me at the door
Sweetheart tell me my lying eyes are wrong.
Tell me that there's another girl identical to you
And that she's the one who rambles all night long
Tell me that your old used to be didn't bring you home at dawn
Sweet heart tell me my lying eyes are wrong.
Sweet heart tell me my lying eyes are wrong...
