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!
