Texty: Tanya Stephens. A Little White Lie.

(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

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

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
