Lying Lips- Earnest Eyes

Your lips...lie
Your words...lie
Your hands...lie
Your actions...lie
The lie: I am nothing to you

Your eyes...
Your earnest eyes
Cannot...will not...lie
They speak the truth
With every look
In their depths...a message
The truth: You long with me to...lie

Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/4/2013 8:10:00 PM Good one, was it Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez that sang Your Lips don't Lie? Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 8/4/2013 11:04:00 PM Are you sure its lips don't lie or hips don't lie? If its the hips don't lie then it is none other than Shakira who is part Lebanese, by the way...and day belly dance like mad!!! :)
