=====================================================
Most references for the first verse have it as...
'For when he knows you're tellin' lies,
 And he hears them passing by,
 He's not a man at all'
After watching various live performances, I believe
what Don Everly is actually singing is...
'When he knows you tell lies,
 And he lets 'em pass by,
 Then he's not a man at all'
