Johnny Rivers - Little White Lie

from the album Borrowed Time, 1980

Little white, little white, little white
Little white, little white,
Little white, little white, little white lie (two times)

In a little white lie I said I love you
In a little white lie you said I love you too
And we both settled in for the night
On the strength of a little white lie

Hey, don't you know love came through
Made that little white lie come true
Oh, true love grew from a little white lie

In a little white lie I said I need you
In a little white lie you said I believe you
And we both let down our hair
Cause we told each other we care

Now don't you know love came through
Made that little white lie come true
Oh, true love grew from a little white lie

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I,
didn't I say I love you from the start
I had no idea how much love there was here in my heart
And the deeper and deeper I fall
Makes it seem it was nothing at all

But a little white lie on that night
When we said it was love at first sight
Oh, it turned out so right
From a little white lie

And the deeper and deeper I fall
Makes it seem it was nothing at all
But a little white lie on that night
When we said it was love at first sight
Oh, it turned out so right
From a little white lie

Little white, little white, little white,
Little white, little white, little white,
Little white, little white lie (two times)
In a little white lie, in a little white lie,
In a little white lie (three times)

La-la-la-la-la-la- love came through (fade)
