Title: White Lies, Grey Lies, Black Lies

Every little white lie you tell is still a lie

And it is still meant to mislead people

But I can't tell her she looks fat in that

I'm no martyr strapped to a steeple!

A grey lie is a relatively small lie

"I can't come in today, I'm feeling sick"

Socially unacceptable, don't get caught!

Especially at the big game, that's the trick!

A black lie is a horrible, nasty lie

Like having two wives ignorant of each other

The lie is there for the liar alone, hurts all

Causing much grief, pain to another
