Question

whats the meaning behind the song little lies by fleetwood mac?

Answer 1

found this explanation on songfacts:

Christine McVie wrote this with her husband Eddy Quintela - they had just married. It's not clear whether the song is about her breakup with John McVie or her relationship with Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys. (thanks, Johanna - London, England)



McVie: "The idea of the lyric is: If I had the chance, I'd do it differently next time. But since I can't, just carry on lying to me and I'll believe, even though I know you're lying."



After their 1982 album Mirage, the band separated and worked on solo projects. They hadn't recorded together for 4 years when they got together to make this album.





i personally think it's about a woman asking her man to tell her white lies and not to tell her the truth not to hurt her feelings.
