Текст песни The Brendan Hines & Co., Inc. — 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 to quit
I say I love the sweater that my grandma knit

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

I pretend I’m asleep, when my dad walks in
I said I ate my chicken but I just ate the skin
your face can say you’re lyin’ when your mouth says you’re not
your pants are on fire but they’re not too hot

when it’s a white lie (white lie!)
It’s 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
