City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she wont have to worry
Shell dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess evry 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 whos feelin down
But he knows where shes goin as shes leavin
She is headed for the cheatin side of town

You cant hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now youd realize
There aint 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 nice anticipating
cause he makes her feel the way she used to feel

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

You cant hid your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now youd realize
There aint now 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, its 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?
Shes 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
Aint it funny how your new life didnt change things
Youre still the same old girl you used to be

You cant hide your lyin eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now youd realize
There aint no way to hide your lyin eyes
There aint no way to hide your lyin eyes
Honey, you cant hide your lyin eyes

I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide

Lost and lonely
Now youve given me the will to survive
When were hungry…love will keep us alive

Dont you worry
Sometimes youve just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now Ive found you
Theres no more emptiness inside
When were hungry…love will keep us alive

I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, theres nothing I wouldnt do

I was standing
All alone against the worlk outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now youve given me the will to survive
When were hungry…love will keep us alive
When were hungry…love will keep us alive
When were hungry…love will keep us alive

I have a mansion forget the price
Aint never been there they tell me its nice
I live in hotels tear out the walls
I have accountants pay for it all

They say Im crazy but I have a good time
(everybody say oh, yeah…..oh,yeah)
Im just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
Lifes been good to me so far

My maserati does 185
I lost my license now I dont drive
I have a limo ride in the back
I lock the doors in case Im attacked

Im making records my fans they cant wait
They write me letters tell me Im great
So I got me an office gold records on the wall
Just leave a message maybe Ill call

Lucky Im sane after all Ive been through
Everybody says Im cool (hes cool)
I cant complain but sometimes I still do
Lifes been good to me so far

I go to parties sometimes until four
Its hard to leave when you cant find the door
Its tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybodys so different I havent changed

They say Im lazy but it takes all my time
Everybody says oh yeah (oh yeah)
I keep on going guess Ill never know why
Lifes been good to me so far

He was a hard-headed man he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless said he was crude
They had one thing in common
They were good in bed
She said, faster, faster.
the lights are turning red.

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane

Are you with me so far?

Eager for action hot for the game
The calling attraction the drop of the name
They knew all the right people
They took all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties
They paid heavenly bills
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice she was caught up in the race
Out every evening until it was light
He was too tired to make it she was too tired to fight about it

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Glowing and burning blinded by thirst
They didnt see the stop sign
Took a turn for the worse
She said, listen baby. you can hear the engine rev.
weve up and down this highway, havent seen a goddamn thing.
He said, call the doctor. I think Im gonna crash.
the doctor say hes coming but you gotta pay in cash.
They were rushing down that freeway,
Messed around and got lost
They didnt care they were just dieing to get off and it was

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
Everything all the time
Life in the fast lane

Life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
