Lyrics
WHITE LIES (words/ music Caroline Tee © 2004)
Verse 1
Just like honey upon your lips,
You tell your lies with the sweetest kiss.
I got your number, I know your game,
If I were you I would be ashamed.
I stare you down as you walk on by,
You can?t look at me - don?t look in my eyes.
Hanging your head like you?ve something to hide,
You been telling your little white lies.
I don?t lay claim that I?m free from blame,
But small minds talk all the same,
Small town politics - its the only way they can get their kicks. . .
Chorus
You been telling those little white lies
You?re the devil in disguise,
I heard the rumour, I saw their eyes.
You?ve been telling those little white lies.
Verse 2
Your talk is cheap - your actions speak
so much louder than words.
Telling stories and mixing them up with the gossip you heard.
She said she saw me with another girl?s man,
Fooling around and holding hands -
But I?ve got an airtight alibi,
I was outta? town messing with another guy.
I don?t lay claim that I?m free from blame,
But small minds talk all the same.
Small town politics, it?s the only way they can get their kicks . . .
Bridge
Fooling yourself it?s plain to see -
Preaching ?bout morality
Who do you think you are to pass judgement on me -
