Little White Lies - Studio Outtake - 1979

We met on open streets where
We both had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat when
You said "Oh billy I love you"
So, now
Standing in the doorway
Did, you
Ever think that we could look this old?
Victims of the little white lies that we told

We did not count tomorrows
We took what we could and ran
There was no time for sorrow
Every place you went I held your hand
And when the night closed in
I was sure, your
Kisses told me all I had to know
But they never whispered the little white lies that we told

Its so good at the start
Nothing could ever pull it apart
Running hand in hand through the rain
But soon, the heart break through more pain, girl
There were no cold denials
Nobody really lied
It wasn't in the things we said, girl
Just time spent, promises implied
And when it began to fall apart
Eaten quietly away from the inside
Bit by bit by those little white lies

Hey
Hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey hey hey

Now standing in the doorway
Did you ever, think?
Ever think that we could look this old?
Victims of the little white lies that we told
Now lying here in the dark
Did you ever, think?
Ever think that we could be this cold?
Just as cold as the little white lies that we told

Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies
Little white lies
(Little white lies)
