A Little White Lie

Tanya Stephens

    Continues after the ad

    (Tanya narrating)
    Once upon a time there was a happy family (a sweet little baby)

    There was a baby girl, a daddy, and a mommy( a sweet little baby)

    Mommy kept a secret she told a little white lie

    Continues after the ad

    and when she tucked the baby in at night, she sang her this lullaby

    Verse 1:
    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 its 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 its 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

    Verse 2:
    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
