A little white lie is harmless
If it's told in the right way
If you use it in a compliment
You can just make someone's day
To tell the truth is what we want
But, the truth we can not handle
So, a white lie comes in handy
Instead of burning both ends of the candle
The human brain cannot accept
The truth if it will hurt them, so
A little lie protects them
From the truth that they all know
Tell someone they're beautiful
Although they look like crap
A little lie is harmless
Just don't fall into the trap
Of using lies to get through life
It's not the way at all
A little lie's no problem
But, a big one...it's your call
You tell fibs to little kids
But they learn the truth as time goes by
You tell them fibs to comfort them
And to make sure they don't cry
You lie a bit to your dear spouse
To make them feel ok
A white lie is a comfort
It might just make their day
But, please...you must be careful
when the answer is 'You're hot"
If your wife asks "do I look fat?"
don't say..."compared to what?"
