Every 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

Sad eyes never lie

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

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 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
