My little girl met a new friend just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swing
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
And she said to me, 'Daddy,
Alyssa lies'
2nd Verse
Well, I just brushed it off at first
'Cause I didn't know how much
My little girl had been hurt
Nor the thing that she had seen
I wasn't ready, when I said, 'You could tell me'
And she said,
Chorus
Alyssa lies to the classroom
Alyssa lies every day at school
Alyssa lies to the teachers
As she tries to cover every bruise
3rd Verse
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'
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
I had the worst night 'a 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
3rd Verse
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
Tag Chorus
'Cause she doesn't lie in the classroom
She doesn't lie anymore at school
Alyssa lies with Jesus
Because there's nothin' anyone would do
Tag
Tears filled my eyes
When my little girl asked me why
Alyssa lies
Oh Daddy
Oh Daddy, tell me why
Alyssa lies

It is a very sad song, and unfortunately abuse occurs in many childrens lives. Hopefully, it will make people think and do something if they suspect a child is being abused.

My friend let me hear that when I stayed at her house and it almost made me cry. I think it has a good point to it.

It's country isn't it? I've heard changed it as soon as I could, my friend was listening to it. I hate country. So NO I do not like this song.

Yes ... sort of. It's almost too sad to "enjoy", you know?
