Lyrics

If you think candy's sweet there's a guy you ought to meet
Sugar drips from his lips when he sighs
But the love light 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 dying to try on for size
But the love light that lies within my baby's eyes
How it lies, how it lies,how it lies,(oh how it lies)
His name tops the list of every florist
His girls are standin' 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
Where the one that you adore is a devil in angel disguise
For the love light that lies is the love light that dies
When it lies, when it lies,when it lies
(If you think candy's sweet there's a guy you ought to meet)
Sugar drips from his lips when he sighs
(But the love light that lies within my baby's eyes)
How it lies, how it lies,how it lies
His name tops the list of every florist
His girls are standin' ten deep in line
With all of the trees in the forest
(Why should she be the only clinging vine?)
Who,me?(Yes,you)
Oh, there's heartbreak in store
When the one that you adore is a devil in angel disguise
For the love light that lies is the love light that dies
When it lies, when it lies,when it lies
When it lies, when it lies,when it lies
