Story behind the song
This song was born as I was putting in my artificial tears (eye drops)!
Lyrics
© 2008 Dwight Lakey and Brown Barn Publishing Danville, VT and Julesburg, CO; All Rights Reserved ARTIFICIAL TEARS By Dwight Lakey Intro Verse 1 I got your message yesterday; you asked me to come back Your words expressed a whole array of fears I can’t forget your pretty face; I can’t forget your eyes And I can’t forget your artificial tears Chorus You’re looking good from your Pilates, and your diet free from fat And your Botox shots to wipe away the years With your artificial sweeteners and your artificial rack You don’t fool me with your artificial tears Verse 2 You shed those tears so quickly when I said that we were through You made a scene as I walked toward the door When I look back at all the years; through all the good and bad It’s strange I’ve never seen you cry before Chorus You’re looking good from your Pilates, and your diet free from fat And your Botox shots to wipe away the years With your artificial sweeteners and your artificial rack You don’t fool me with your artificial tears Bridge My Mom and Daddy aged through life together They put on years like rings around a tree But when, together, we walked by a mirror The only person growing old was me Solo over …………... Verse Chorus You’re looking good from your Pilates, and your diet free from fat And your Botox shots to wipe away the years With your artificial sweeteners and your artificial rack You don’t fool me with your artificial tears Verse 3 You were so aware of status and afraid of losing out Among your friends you wouldn’t be outdone You always spoke of “you” or “me,” and mostly spoke of “you” It’s clear our two hearts never beat as one Chorus You’re looking good from your Pilates, and your diet free from fat And your Botox shots to wipe away the years With your artificial sweeteners and your artificial rack You don’t fool me with your artificial tears… Outro You don’t fool me with your artificial tears © 2008 Dwight Lakey and Brown Barn Publishing Danville, VT and Julesburg, CO; All Rights Reserved
