In A Small Moment

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

Whoa, 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

It could just a little lie
That slipped beside her
As she tossed and turned in her alibis

In a small moment
Just a little, little lie
When she wasn't looking
It just slipped on by

Just a little lie
When she wasn't looking
It just slipped on
Slipped on by
