(Carly Simon)
|
In a small moment
|
She accepted credit for something she did not do
|
She said she'd done the water color in her bedroom
|
But it was done by a friend from school
|
Just a little lie
|
No one would discover
|
At least not very soon
|
|
In a small moment
|
Just a little lie
|
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by
|
|
In a small moment
|
In a restaurant where she worked the late night shift
|
She short changed a sailor and made five
|
You could never really call it a theft
|
Just a little lie
|
Swept up in her apron and kept as a well deserved gift
|
In a small moment
|
Just a little lie
|
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by
|
|
In a small moment
|
She cheated on her lover and placed it in the back of her mind
|
As long as nobody knew the truth about her
|
It could never really be unkind
|
Just a little lie
|
That slipped beside her as she tossed and turned in her alibis
|
|
In a small moment
|
Just a little lie
|
When she wasn't looking it just slipped on by
|
Just a little lie
|
When she wasn't looking it jsut slipped on by
|
Slipped on by
|
