From the recording The White Cat Sessions
Lyrics
His ex came by the house
She left a note on the door
Was I surprised when I looked inside
To find out a little more
It said, “I’m sorry that I hurt you
All those years ago
You were the best I ever had
I never should’ve let you go”
Well, I threw that note into the fire
I suppose that makes me a liar
I don’t want my world to end
He’s my man to defend
With a little white lie
Just a little white lie
Oh, a girl’s gotta do
What a girl’s gotta do
To keep her man
With a little white lie
Little white lie
Oh, a girl’s gotta do
What a girl’s gotta do
To keep her man
With a little white lie
What if she starts coming ‘round
Trying to lead him on
What if he starts thinking
He’s loved her all along
Oh, I’m so scared, I can’t go there
I believe our love is strong
I can’t believe I’m gonna lie
But is it really wrong
Well, I threw that note into the fire
I suppose that makes me a liar
I don’t want my world to end
He’s my man to defend
With a little white lie
Just a little white lie
Oh, a girl’s gotta do
What a girl’s gotta do
To keep her man
With a little white lie
Little white lie
Oh, a girl’s gotta do
What a girl’s gotta do
To keep her man
With a little white lie
