Story behind the song
A Classic Eagles song that I think has worked quite well using ukulele and ukulele Bass
Lyrics
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 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 it's only for a while She swears that soon she'll be comin' back forever She goes 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 your 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 (Ooh...) Did she get tired or did she just get lazy? (Ooh...) She's so far gone she feels just like a fool My oh my you sure know how to arrange things (Aaah...) You set it up so well so carefully Ain't it funny (aaah...) 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

What a great cover version! Sounds really good with the ukulele - so nice to hear a "live" recording without loads of production or effects.
