-2  3   -3   -2   -1    1
If you think can-dy’s sweet
  -2    3  -3  -3   -2   -1  1
There’s a girl you ought to meet
-2  3   -3    -3  -3*  4    -5   4    3
Su-gar drips from her lips when she sighs
-2   3   -3   -2    -1   -2
But the love light that lies
 3   3* 3* -2  -1   -2
With-in my ba-by’s eyes
 2  -1  1     3  -2  2    -3  3   -2
How it lies, how it lies, how it lies

She has style she has charms
And a pair of lov-in’ arms
That I’m dyin’ 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

-2   -3*  -3* -3* -3* -3* 4  -3* -3*  -3
Her name tops the list Of ev-‘ry flor-ist
-2    3    3    3   -3  -3*  4  -3*  -3
Her beaux are stand-in’ ten deep in line
 -2  -3* -3*-3*  -3*  4  -3* -3* -3
With all of the trees in the for-est
 4    -3   3 3  -3  3  -2  2    -2   3
Why should I be the on-ly lone-some pine

Oh, there’s heart break in store
When the one you adore 
Is a devil in angel’s disguise
For the love light that lies
Is the love light that dies 
When it lies, how it lies, how it lies
