不倫的情慾有時和毒品嗎啡一般，一旦嚐試過之後即很難戒斷，有些甚至要到發生了家庭悲劇後方能終止。這首《Lyin' Eyes / 說謊的眼神》大意是在描述漂亮的女人因拜金而嫁給有錢的老頭，雖住華厦仍感寂寞。然後是欺騙老公說要去安慰心情沮喪的老友，其實是去會年輕的情郎。纏綿過後，她告訴情郎很快地會再回來。當夜深人靜，面對繁星，她似有所懊悔，懷疑起自己怎會如此瘋狂？這次真的是玩過火了，覺得自己好傻。但寫歌者並不這麼認為，最後寫道：噢！妳一定知道如何週詳的計畫和安排 ( 意仍會出軌 )，而可笑的是，妳的新人生沒什麼改變，妳還是從前的那個女孩。

當老鷹合唱團 ( Eagles )還在洛杉磯打拼的時候，主唱Glenn Erey和鼓手Don Henley某晚去到當地的酒吧餐廳，看到一個漂亮的女人後面跟著個又老又胖的有錢佬，當這對男女開始嗤嗤發笑時，倆人之一說：『 Look at her, she can't even hide those lyin eyes!』然後拿起墊雞尾酒杯的紙巾，開始寫下歌詞。

這首歌於1975推出後，獲得告示牌熱門百大的第2名及鄉村排行榜的第8名。此曲也替Eagles贏得了一座葛萊美獎 ---「最佳流行歌曲二重唱或團體演唱獎」。為了因應Top 40電台在當時通常不播放長度超過4分鐘的歌曲，還刻意將在專輯中的原曲 ( 6分22秒 ) 剪輯註明為3分58秒，另以45轉單曲發行，但歌曲實際的長度仍為4分14秒。





City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is
Only given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

On the other side of town a boy is waiting
with fiery eyes and dreams no one could steal
She drives on through the night anticipating
'Cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

She rushes to his arms,
They fall together
She whispers that it's only for awhile
She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever
She pulls away and leaves him with a smile

You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide you lyin' eyes

She gets up and pours herself a strong one
And stares out at the stars up in the sky
Another night, it's gonna be a long one
She draws the shade and hangs her head to cry

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about a boy she knew in school
Did she get tired or did she just get lazy?
She's so far gone she feels just like a fool

My, oh my, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain't it funny how your new life didn't change things
You're still the same old girl you used to be

You can't hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
There ain't no way to hide your lyin' eyes
Honey, you can't hide your lyin' eyes
