(Tanya narrating)Once upon a time there was a happy family
(a sweet little baby)There was a baby girl, a daddy,
and a mommy( a sweet little baby)Mommy kept a secret
she told a little white lie and when she tucked the baby in at night she would sing her this lullaby.

1:You got your daddy's smile, you got his eyes I
feel my heart breaking everytime you cry I'm gonna
burn in hell, but its no sacrifice Your stability is worth
a million lies I see your daddy, in everything you do And if you could talk, I'd bet you'd talk like him
too but he can't be your daddy, I hope you
understand the man who thinks he's your father is a much better man Maybe one day, you'll end up
crying on Rikki Lake but baby its a chance your
momma's willing to take'Cause I love you! even
if my heart is gonna break Aint no reason you should suffer
for my mistakes.

Chorus: And so I lie, baby I try, and
it kills me inside but I'm gonna live with this until
the day I die and I hurt, baby, oh how I hurt but I
know what you're worth, yeah so I'm gonna live
with this until I hit the dirt, someday(Narrating)And everyday by herself the momma cried and
cried but at night she smiled when the daddy was by her
side There were times she almost told him, and it really
broke her heart but she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her apart.

Now i can't sleep at night I've lost my appetite everybody keeps saying "The baby looks kind of light" and I tell them every newborn baby looks the same while I'm praying to God, "Please make your color change" the emotions on his face when he's looking at you I couldn't tell him aint your papa even if I wanted to he's got your picture tattooed on his arm now he's bragging to his friends about his first born Oh God, and I love him, really I do, if he ever found out it would kill me too, now I'm caught between a rock and a really hard place I'd give anything to keep that
smile on his face

Chorus: So I lie, baby I try, and
it kills me inside but I'm gonna live with this until
the day I die and I hurt, baby, oh how I hurt but I
know what you're worth, yeah so I'm gonna live
with this until I hit the dirt, someday(Narrating)And everyday by herself the momma cried and
cried but at night she smiled when the daddy was by her
side There were times she almost told him, and it really
broke her heart but she forced herself to keep the secret that was tearing her apart.

(Narrating) Mommy kept the family together the best way she could cause she knew in this case the truth would do more harm than good what the daddy didn't know, didn't hurt
him he had no cause to fret, and that's as close to
happily ever after as anyone can get (Chorus out)
