(Verse 1):
When I was a child, I believed with all my heart
Those fairy tales were true
But those fanatic fantasies all fall apart
If you only let the light shine through
(Chorus 1):
... they're lies - the Little Lies that make the world go 'round
When you stop to think, you realize
That they're lies - the Little Lies we use to keep each other down
Don't deny, we all rely, on Little Lies
(Verse 2):
When I was a boy, I believed with all my heart
Someday my dreams would all come true
But I found out, and none too soon, the hardest part
Dreamin' isn't all you gotta do
(Chorus 2):
.. you gotta lie - the Little Lies that make the world go 'round
When you stop to think, you realize
That they're lies - the Little Lies we use to keep each other down
Don't deny, we all rely, on Little Lies
(Bridge):
Don't get me wrong, I don't pretend to know the score
But finally I see through the disguise
So little left to be believed in anymore
I defy you to deny the Little Lies
(Verse 3):
Once, I was in love, and I believed with all my heart
The love I found was true
But when my heart was crushed, and trashed, and torn apart
The only thing that got me through
(Chorus 3):
... were the lies - the Little Lies that make the world go 'round
When you stop to think, you realize
That they're lies - the Little Lies we use to keep each other down
Don't deny, we all rely,
I defy you to deny the Little Lies
