How It Lies How It Lies How It Lies Songtext
von Kay Starr

If you think candy′s sweet
There's a guy you oughta meet
Sugar drips from his lips when he sighs
But the lovelight that lies
Within my baby′s eyes
How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

He has style, he has charms
And a pair of loving arms
That I'm dyin' to try on for size
But the lovelight that lies
Within my baby′s eyes
How it lies, ooo, how it lies

His name tops the list of every florist
His gals are standing ten deep in line
With all of the trees in the forest
Why should I be the only clinging vine


Oh, there′s heartbreak in store
When the one that you adore
Is a devil in an angel's disguise
For the lovelight that lies
Is the lovelight that dies
When it lies, when it lies, when it lies

His name tops the list of every florist
His gals are standing ten deep in line
With all of the trees in the forest
Why should I be the only clinging vine

Oh, there′s heartbreak in store
When the one that you adore
Is a devil in an angel's disguise
For the lovelight that lies
Is lovelight that dies

Well, I cried and I cried
And I tried and I tried
But I can′t figure out the reason why
But I do know that you have lied
