歌词
My little girl met a new friend just the other day
几天前，我的心肝小宝贝
On the playground at school
刚在学校的操场结识了一个新朋友
她们因玩荡秋千而认识对方
Between the tires and the swings
但是她回来时泪眼汪汪
她对我说，爸爸，艾丽莎说谎
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
好吧，我当时不大在意
因为我不知道，我的小可爱有多伤心
And she said to me, "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
也不知道她见到了什么
当我说“你可以告诉我”时，其实我还没准备好
Well I just brushed it off at first
她说
艾丽莎对着全班撒谎
'Cause I didn't know how much my little girl had been hurt
艾丽莎每天都在学校撒谎
艾丽莎对着老师撒谎
Or the things she had seen
她想要掩饰自己的每一处淤青
那一晚，我的小女儿躺下睡去
I wasn't ready when I said you can tell me
当我走出房门时，我听到了
她甜蜜而温柔的祈祷
And she said
上帝，请您保佑我的爸爸妈妈
还有我的新朋友艾丽莎
"Alyssa lies to the classroom
我知道她很需要您，因为
艾丽莎对着全班撒谎
Alyssa lies everyday at school
艾丽莎每天都在学校撒谎
艾丽莎对着老师撒谎
Alyssa lies to the teachers
她想要掩饰自己的每一处淤青
那晚我彻夜难眠
As she tries to cover every bruise"
尝试找出一个办法抚平她的恐惧
我很清楚我该做什么
My little girl laid her head down that night to go to sleep
但是到了星期一，我们到了学校之后，我知道了消息
我的小女孩问我，为什么大家看上去这么悲伤
As I stepped out the room I heard her say
我如鲠在喉，哽咽难言
A prayer so soft and sweet
她的问题回响不断
直到我泪流满面
"God bless my mom and my dad
我告诉她，艾丽莎今天不会来学校了
因为她没对着全班撒谎
And my new friend Alyssa"
她也不会再在学校撒谎
她，对耶稣撒了谎
Oh I know she needs you bad because
因为别人始终无动于衷
Alyssa lies to the classroom
我热泪盈眶
当我的小姑娘一次次地问我
Alyssa lies everyday at school
为什么艾丽莎要说谎
啊，爸爸，快告诉我啊···
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
