Lyrics
One little white lie
Expressing the presence of a small untruth
One white lie surrounds us
Indicating the pervasiveness of the white lie
One white lie won't stop the love
Suggesting that a single lie won't hinder the love
That I feel around us
Describing the palpable love surrounding them
Darlin', do you think about me
Pondering if the partner thinks about the speaker
What I feel for you, don't you ever doubt me
Reaffirming unwavering feelings for the partner
You see the lock on the door
Noting a guarded heart with the partner holding the key
Of this heart, but you hold the key
Symbolizing trust as the key to the speaker's heart
I need the trust you can give
Expressing the need for the partner's trust
Is there something that you need from me?
Inquiring if there's anything the partner requires
One little white lie
Reiteration of a small untruth's presence
One white lie surrounds us
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of the white lie
One white lie won't stop the love
Asserting that a lie won't hinder the love they share
That I feel around us
Reiterating the strong love enveloping them
Secrets, and the way we keep them
Referring to secrets and their mutual keeping
Between you and me
Committing to not needing the secrets they keep
Promise we'll never need them
Promise to discard unnecessary secrets
I can see something so true
Noting something true that only they perceive
No one else could ever see
Highlighting a unique connection
And I'll never chance losing you
Expressing the fear of losing the partner
I believe my heart, I hear what it's telling me
Believing in the heart's message
One little white lie
Repetition of the presence of a small untruth
One white lie surronds us
Reiterating the widespread nature of the white lie
One white lie won't stop the love
Stating that a lie won't hinder their love
That I feel around us
Emphasizing the enduring love surrounding them
One little white lie
Restating the existence of a small untruth
One white lie tears us apart
Indicating that a lie causes separation
One white lie won't stop the love
Repeating that a lie won't hinder love
That's waiting in this heart
Highlighting the waiting love in the heart
That's waiting in this heart
Reiteration of the love waiting in the heart
Temptation leave us alone
Advising temptation to stay away
'Cause I know you're always there
Acknowledging the constant presence of temptation
But white lies can weigh like stone
Comparing the weight of white lies to stones
And in this world I hear them everywhere
Observing the prevalence of lies in the world
One little white lie, ooh yeah
Repetition of a small untruth's presence
One white lie surrounds us
Reemphasizing the widespread nature of the white lie
One white lie won't stop the love
Stating that a lie won't hinder their love
That I feel around us
Affirming the love surrounding them
One little white lie, one lie
Highlighting the impact of a lie on their relationship
One white lie tears us apart
Reiterating that a lie causes separation
One white lie won't stop the love
Emphasizing that love persists despite lies
That's waiting in this heart
Underlining the waiting love in the heart
That's waiting in this heart
Reiteration of the love waiting in the heart
One lie, one lie
Repetition of the word 'lie'
One little white lie, one white lie
Repetition of the phrase 'white lie'
One white lie, one little white lie
Final emphasis on the existence of a small untruth
