Little White Lie - Tanya Stephens (坦娅·斯蒂文斯)[00:00:00]

Once upon a time there was a happy family[00:00:01]

There was a baby girl[00:00:04]

A daddy and there was a mommy[00:00:06]

Mommy had a secret[00:00:08]

She told a little white lie[00:00:09]

When she tucked the baby in at night[00:00:11]

She sang her this lullaby[00:00:13]

You got your daddy's smile[00:00:14]

You got his eyes[00:00:16]

I feel my heart breaking every time you cry[00:00:18]

I'm gonna burn in hell but it's no sacrifice[00:00:22]

Your stability is worth a million lies[00:00:26]

I see your daddy in everything you do[00:00:29]

And if you could talk[00:00:33]

I'll bet you'll talk like him too[00:00:34]

But he can't be your daddy[00:00:36]

I hope you understand[00:00:38]

The man who thinks he's your father is a much better man[00:00:40]

Maybe one day you'll end up crying on Rikki Lake[00:00:43]

But baby it's a chance your momma's willing to take[00:00:47]

'Cause I love you even if my heart is gonna break[00:00:51]

Ain't no reason you should suffer for my mistake[00:00:55]

And so I lie and baby I try and it kills me inside[00:00:58]

Yeah[00:01:08]

But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die[00:01:09]

And I hurt baby[00:01:13]

Oh how I hurt[00:01:16]

But I know what you're worth yeah[00:01:19]

So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt[00:01:23]

Someday[00:01:27]

And everyday by herself the momma cried and cried[00:01:29]

But at night she smiled when the daddy was by her side[00:01:32]

There were times she almost told him and it really broke her heart[00:01:35]

But she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her apart[00:01:39]

Now I can't sleep at night[00:01:42]

I've lost my appetite[00:01:44]

Everybody keeps saying[00:01:46]

"The baby looks kind of light"[00:01:47]

And I tell them[00:01:50]

"Every newborn baby looks the same"[00:01:51]

While I'm praying to God[00:01:53]

Please make your color change[00:01:54]

And the emotions on his face when he's looking at you[00:01:57]

I couldn't tell him[00:02:00]

He ain't your papa if I wanted to[00:02:02]

He's got your picture tattooed on his arm[00:02:04]

Now he's bragging to his friends about his firstborn[00:02:07]

Oh God and I love him[00:02:10]

Really I do[00:02:14]

If he ever found out it would kill me too[00:02:16]

Now I'm caught between a rock and a really hard place[00:02:19]

I'd give anything to keep that smile on his face[00:02:22]

So I lie[00:02:26]

Baby I try and it kills me inside yeah[00:02:30]

But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die[00:02:37]

And I hurt[00:02:41]

Baby oh how I hurt[00:02:44]

But I know what you're worth yeah[00:02:47]

So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt someday[00:02:52]

Mommy kept the family together the best way she could[00:02:57]

'Cause she knew in this case the truth would do more harm than good[00:03:01]

What daddy didn't know[00:03:04]

Didn't hurt him[00:03:06]

He had no cause to fret[00:03:06]

And that's as close to happily ever after as anyone can get[00:03:08]

Oh how I try[00:03:14]

And it kills me inside[00:03:17]

But I'm gonna live with this until the day I die[00:03:21]

And I hurt baby[00:03:25]

Oh how I hurt[00:03:28]

But I know what you're worth yeah[00:03:31]

So I'm gonna live with this until I hit the dirt[00:03:36]

Someday[00:03:40]
