If you think candy's sweet
There's a girl you oughta meet
Sugar drips from her lips when she sighs
But the lovelight that lies
Within my baby's eyes
How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

She has style, she has charms
And a pair of lovin' arms
That I'm dyin' to try on for size
But the lovelight that lies
Within my baby's eyes
How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

Oh her name tops the list of every florist
Her beaux stand ten deep in line
With all of the trees in the forest
Why should I be the only clingin' vine

Oh there's heartbreak in store
Where the one that you adore
Is a devil in the angel disguise
But the lovelight that lies
Is the lovelight that dies
How it lies, how it lies, how it lies
