Little White Lie Lyrics

(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

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  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

Chorus

(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

janetvaldez1011: I absolutely love this song! Its so heartfelt. Even though she wronged both men, she did it for the well being of everyone she loves in her life. Its such a weird situation to be in =(
channelvision98: nothing is black and white, and it's naive to believe that we know what's right all the time. I think its wrong to tell someone its their kid when you know its not, especially if you don't plan to take that secret to your grave. Because sometimes, really some men don't deserve to be fathers. So doing the best thing for your kid and the man you love isn't always the same thing. Sad when a lie goes too far.
deiandra poitier: dis is so so so tr u how women make sacrifice for their kids.
lagyssupteews: its been so long since you posted this comment but i do believe it bothers every woman who does this even if they try to convince themselves that it's ok i know bcz my daughter is 6 now and i made a huge mistake that haunts me everyday cuz things would have been better if i had stayed with daddy d real one
