    These Eyes Don't Lie

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 

    Absolute 
    You called me absolute 
    I swallowed my refute 
    You’re so damned astute 
    What will you do now that you
    have caught a glimpse of me? 
    Will you stay
    or will you need convincing? 

    I choked out my reply “We’ll talk about that later” 
     ‘Cause in your eyes I feared the old invaders 
    Should I see this through or grab the plans for my escape route? 
    Will you take a stand between me and every way out? 

    Quit the schemes 
    Forgive the crimes          
    Risk it all for clear blue skies 
    These eyes don’t lie 

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 

    I’ve lived so many fictions I’ve got sonar for the truth. 
    Yeah you sound delicious but I gotta hear some proof 
    What if you knew you’re the only one that sees me cry? 
    Each time I leave you I’m scared it’s the last time 

    Quit the schemes 
    Forgive the crimes          
    Risk it all for clear blue skies 
    These eyes don’t lie

    I’ve tried too many times 
    Looked in so many eyes 
    But everyone’s a liar 
    Until you tell yourself the truth 

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    These eyes don’t lie 
    These eyes don’t lie 
    These eyes don’t lie 

    So I’ll  quit the schemes 
    Forgive the crimes 
    Risk it all for clear blue skies 
    These  eyes don’t lie 
    These  eyes don’t lie 
    These  eyes don’t lie 

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la 

    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la 
    La la la la la la la la  La la la la
