Dark eyes that look so sincere
You fool everybody with your smile
Even I believed in you

But only for a while
You still play those silly games
You gotta mess with people's minds
But I got news for you honey
Keep looking right behind
(Only time will tell)

Time will tell
I know there ain't no point my trying to change it now
(Only time will tell)
Only time will tell
Yeah!

I thought you really would care for me
You'd fill my life with some tenderness
I told the world you'd grown up
But no one would forget
Looks like all you learned
Was to hide your bitterness
Darlin' if you ever stop moving
I'll get you yeah!
(Only time will tell)
Time will tell
Well there ain't no point my trying to change it now
(Only time will tell)
Only time...

Will tell me it's not true
Oh you gotta tell me I am wrong
Cos I can't believe I was your friend for so long
I know what you do
And I know what you say
You twist the knife when I turn now
Only time will tell

Dark eyes that look so sincere
You fool everybody with your smile
I told the world you'd grown up
Only for a while
Looks to me all you learned
Was to hide your vicious smile
But if I ever catch up with you
Yeah!

(Only time will tell)
Time will tell
Well there ain't no point my trying to change it now
(Only time will tell)
Time will tell
There's nothing I can do about it
Nothing I can say about yeah!
