This ain't no lullaby but I can make it rhyme for you, yeah
I can try, I can try to lie if you want me to and
This ain't no symphony but if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
Little Boy Blue's in love with Jill
But silly Jill stays at home with Will
He hits her, don't kiss her but pays the bills
For their perfect family
Jackie be nimble, Jackie be quick
When Jackie jumped off the roof, "He slipped,"
Said the bully, "Don't worry bout lunatics
He shoulda been happy."
Life is harder when you try
To turn a blind eye to others
This ain't no lullaby but I can make it rhyme for you, yeah
I can try, I can try to lie if you want me to and
This ain't no symphony but if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie in a lullaby
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Babydoll's more than meets the eye
But every guy still objectifies
Bonita Lolita who shows her thighs
Cuz she's "asking for it"
The blacker your face, the bigger the crime
The harder the chase, the longer your time
White men still win if you survive
The beatings and bullets
Life is harder when you try
To turn a blind eye to others
This ain't no lullaby but I can make it rhyme for you, yeah
I can try, I can try to lie if you want me to and
This ain't no symphony but if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie in a lullaby
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Ooh why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you want a lie in a la-la-lullaby?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you wanna lie?
Why do you want a lie in a la-la-lullaby?
This ain't no lullaby but I can make it rhyme for you, yeah
I can try, I can try to lie if you want me to and
This ain't no symphony but if you wanna sing with me
Then I can try, I can try to lie
