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 your 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 peds 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 your 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 your 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
is still a lie,
even when
it's
white
