Little White Lie |
| And when she tucked the baby in at night, she sang her this lullaby |
| You got your daddy’s smile, you got his eyes |
| I feel my heart breaking everytime you cry |
| I’m gonna burn in hell, but it’s no sacrifice |
| Your stability is worth a million lies |
| I see your daddy, in everything you do And if you could talk, I’ll bet you’ll talk like him too |
| But he can’t be your daddy, I hope you understand |
| The man who thinks he’s your father |
| Is a much better man |
| Maybe one day, you’ll end up crying on Rikki Lake |
| But baby it’s a chance your momma’s willing to take |
| 'Cause I love you! |
| even if my heart is gonna break |
| Aint no reason you should suffer for my mistake |
| Chorus: And so I lie, baby I try, and it kills me inside |
| But I’m gonna live with this until the day I die |
| And I hurt, baby, oh how I hurt |
| But I know what you’re worth, yeah |
| So I’m gonna live with this |
| Until I hit the dirt, someday |
| (Narrating) |
| And everyday by herself the momma cried and cried |
| But at night she smiled when the daddy was by her side |
| There were times she almost told him, and it really broke her heart |
| But she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her apart |
| Now I can’t sleep at night |
| I’ve lost my appetite |
| Everybody keeps saying |
| «The baby looks kind of light» |
| And I tell them that every newborn baby looks the same |
| While I’m praying to God, «Please make your color change» |
| The emotions on his face when he’s looking at you |
| I couldn’t tell he aint your papa even if I wanted to He’s got your picture tattooed on his arm |
| Now he’s bragging to his friends about his firstborn |
| Oh God, and I love him, really I do, if he ever found out it Would kill me too, now I’m caught between a rock and a Really hard place I’d give anything to keep that smile on his face |
| (Narrating) |
| Mommy kept the family together the best way she could |
| Cause she knew in this case the truth would do more harm than good |
| What the daddy didn’t know, didn’t hurt him |
| He had no cause to fret, and that’s as close to happily ever after as anyone |
| can get |
| Chorus out |
