Lyrics to Bobby Vee
They say that you’re a run around lover
Tho’ you say it isn’t so
But if you put me down for another
I’ll know, believe me
I’ll know
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes can’t help but see
If you aren’t true to me
So remember when you tell those
Little white lies that the night
Has a thousand eyes
One of these days you’re gonna be sorry
‘Cause your game I’m gonna play
And you’ll find out without really trying
Each time that my kisses stray
That the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me through
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise
All those little white lies
‘Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those
Little white lies that the night
Has a thousand eyes
