My G little girl met a D new friend Cadd9 just the other day
On the G playground at school D between the Cadd9 tires and the swing
G But she came D home with tear-filled Cadd9 eyes
When she G said to me "daddy D , Alyssa Cadd9 lies"
G Well, I just D brushed it off at Cadd9 first
G Cause I didn't D know how much my Cadd9 little girl had been hurt
G Or the D things that she had Cadd9 seen
I wasn't G ready when I D said you can tell Cadd9 me
She said Alyssa G lies to the D classroom
Alyssa Cadd9 lies everyday at D school
Alyssa G lies to the D teachers
As she Cadd9 tries to cover every D bruise
My G little girl laid her D head down that Cadd9 night to go to sleep
As I G stepped out the room, I D heard her say a Cadd9 prayer so soft and sweet
G God bless D my mom and my Cadd9 dad
And G my new friend Alyssa D , oh, I Cadd9 know she needs you bad
Because Alyssa G lies to the D classroom
Alyssa Cadd9 lies everyday at D school
Alyssa G lies to the D teachers
As she Cadd9 tries to cover every D bruise
Em I had the worst night of Cadd9 sleep in years
As I G tried to think of a way to calm her D fears
Em I knew exactly what I Cadd9 had to do
But when we G got to school on Monday, I heard the D news
My G little girl asked D me why every Cadd9 body looked so sad
The G lump in my throat grew D bigger with every Cadd9 question that she asked
G Until I felt the D tears run down my Cadd9 face
And I G told her that D Alyssa wouldn't Cadd9 be at school today
She doesn't G lie in the D classroom
She doesn't Cadd9 lie anymore at D school
Alyssa G lies with D Jesus
Because there's Cadd9 nothing anyone would D do
G Tears D filled my Cadd9 eyes when my Em little girl D asked me Cadd9 why
Alyssa lies
Oh daddy, oh daddy tell me G why D Cadd9
Alyssa lies G
