They just use your mind
And you never get the credit
It’s enough to make you
Crazy if you let it
(Think 80s but may be 70s)

There were times when I could
Have murdered her
But you know, I would hate
Anything to happen to her

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who’s feeling down

I love The Eagles! But yes it’s Lyin’ Eyes.

An oldie. Not sure if it’s 60s

If I could turn the page
There’s time that I’d rearrange
Just a day or two
