I say I’m ten when I’m nine 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.

Refrain:
But that’s a white lie, white lie,
It’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 alright
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 lying when your mouth says you’re not,
Your pants are on fire but they’re not too hot.

Refrain:
When it’s a white lie, white lie,
It’s the kind you want to tell,
A white lie, white lie,
Your dad will never smell / So your dad won’t have to yell,
A white lie, white lie,
Everybody does it
’cause it feels alright
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?

Refrain:
It’s a white lie, white lie, / But that’s a white lie, white lie,
It’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 alright
And it’s more polite,
But a lie’s still a lie,
Even when it’s white.
