TELLING EYES
Lee Morse 1925

Lee Morse & her Blue Grass Boys  
recorded 1925 
New York


I cannot tell you how I love you,
But feel I feel for you.
Since I met you, you hardly worry!
I sometimes doubt the things that you say,
I'm jealous all the time;
There's one thing on my mind!

Those telling eyes,
Just telling lies,
They fool me all the time!
Just when I feel
I'm your ideal,
I catch you flirting;
My poor heart burning!

You seem so pure,
Still I'm not sure
That all your heart is mine!
And though I love those lovely eyes,
I really realise
Those telling eyes are telling lies!

You seem so pure,
Still I'm not sure
That all your heart is mine!
And though I love those lovely eyes,
I really realise
Those telling eyes are telling lies!
