    Default did Lyin' Eyes have a radio version?

    I was listening to the song on the radio the other day and I realized that they took out the second verse ("he rushes to her arms, they fall together") and shortened the third verse (they jumped to the "you sure know how to arrange things" part pretty quickly). Anyone else noticed this?

    Yes. There are two version. The whole song version and then edited version where they skip the second verse and go right into the third and of course they skip some lines in the third verse and goes into my oh my, you sure know how to change things. I hate the edited version.

    I don't rememember which version is on GH1, but I think this compilation contains the irritating edited version: http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-le...s-mw0001921455

    I hate when the edited version comes on the radio. Half the time my local radio station plays the edited version more than the full version. I never know when its the edited version until Glenn sings the first line of either second or third verse. I'm glad when I listen to Lyin' Eyes on my cd, Pandora or I Heart Radio, its always the whole song.

    I hate the edited version, too. Does anyone know who made the decision to have an edited version? In HotE Szymczyk said he was pressured to make some edits to Hotel California, but he refused. Did he okay an edited version of Lyin' Eyes?
