Your Lying Blue Eyes
George Jones · You've Still Got a Place in My Heart [1983]
Your lying blue eyes used to charm me
Hypnotize me through and through
Like a fool, Lord, I've been dreaming
Your lying blue eyes just told on you.
Your lying blue eyes used to charm me
Hypnotize me through and through
Like a fool, Lord, I've been dreaming
Your lying blue eyes just told on you.
All those stories I've been hearing
I wouldn't believe that they were true
But just this morning over coffee
Your lying blue eyes just told on you.
For a long time I have loved you
And I've thought you loved me too
Now all questions have been answered
Your lying blue eyes just told on you.
Your lying blue eyes used to charm me
Hypnotize me through and through
Like a fool, Lord, I've been dreaming
Your lying blue eyes just told on you.
Your lying blue eyes just told on you...
