Alyssa Lies Lyrics - Waitin' In The Country - Jason Michael Carroll

My little girl met a new friend just the other day 

On the playground at school 

Between the tires and the swings 

But she came home with tear-filled eyes 

And she said to me, "Daddy, Alyssa lies" 

Well I just brushed it off at first 

'Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt 

Or the things she had seen 

I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me 

And she said 

"Alyssa lies to the classroom 

Alyssa lies everyday at school 

Alyssa lies to the teachers 

As she tries to cover every bruise" 

My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep 

As I stepped out the room I heard her say 

A prayer so soft and sweet 

"God bless my mom and my dad 

And my new friend Alyssa 

Oh I know she needs you bad because 

Alyssa lies to the classroom 

Alyssa lies everyday at school 

Alyssa lies to the teachers 

As she tries to cover every bruise" 

I had the worst night of sleep in years 

As I tried to think of a way to calm her fears 

I knew exactly what I had to do 

But when we got to school on Monday I heard the news 

My little girl asked me why everybody looked so sad 

The lump in my throat grew bigger 

With every question that she asked 

Until I felt the tears run down my face 

And I told her that Alyssa wouldn't be at school today 

'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom 

She doesn't lie anymore at school 

Alyssa lies with Jesus 

Because there's nothing anyone would do 

Tears filled my eyes 

When my little girl asked me why 

Alyssa lies 

Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me why 

Alyssa lies
