I hold my tongue, I don't do much talkin'
 You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
 Well go on baby, I got plenty of time, 'cause
 Sad eyes never lie
 Sad eyes never lie

 For a while I've been watching you steady
 Ain't gonna move 'till you're good and ready
 You show up and then you shy away
 But I know pretty soon you'll be
 walkin' this way, 'cause
 Sad eyes never lie
 Sad eyes never lie

 Baby, don't you know, I don't care
 Don't you know that I've been there
 Well if somethin' in the air feels a little unkind
 Don't worry darlin', 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 my hair
 You're so sure I'll be standing there
 I guess sad eyes never lie
 Sad eyes never lie
 I guess sad eyes never lie
 Sad eyes never lie
