White lie

White lie I say I’m 10 when I’m 9 and a half My uncle tells a joke and I try to laugh In gym I fake a headache when I want ti quit I say I love the sweater that my grandma knit But that a white lie White lie! That’s the kind you want to tell, a white lie. White lie! So you’re mom won’t have to yell, a white lie. White lie! Everybody does it ‘cause it feels all right And it’s more polite But a lie’s still a lie, even when it’s white. I pretend I’m sleep when my dad walks in I said ate my chicken but I just ate the skin Your face can say you’re lying When pes are on fire but they’re not too hot When the kind you want to tell, a white lie. White lie! So you’re dad won’t have to yell, a white lie. White lie! Everybody does it ‘cause it feels all right And it’s more polite But a lie’s still a lie, even when it’s white. While it might be hard to say what’s true Would you want a white lie told to you? But that’s a white lie White lie! That’s the kind you want to tell, a white lie. White lie! So you’re mom won’t have to yell, a white lie. White lie! Everybody does it ‘cause it feels all right And it’s more polite But a lie’s still a lie, even when it’s white.
