when you tell one lie it leads to another
PAUL HATCH
WHEN YOU TELL ONE LIE ,IT LEADS TO ANTHER
SO YOU TELL TWO LIES TO COVER EACH OTHER
THEN YOU TELL THREE LIES AND ,OH BROTHER ,
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE UP TO YOUR EARS!
SO YOU TELL FOUR LIES TO TRY TO PROTECT YOU
THEN YOU TELL FIVE LIES SO FOLKS WONT SUSPECT
YOU
THEN YOU TELL SIX LIES AND YOU'LL COLLECT
A LIFE FILLED WITH WORRIES AND FEARS
'CAUSE YOU CANT REMEMBER HOW MANY LIES
YOU'VE TOLD
AND HALF THE THINGS YOU SAID ARE'NT TRUE
AND SOMETIMES YOU'LL SLIP UP YOU'LL TRIP UP
AND THEN
WHATEVER WILL BECOME OF YOU ?
SO YOU LIES WITHOUT EVEN TRYING
AND EACH LIES YOU TELL WILL KEEP
MULTIPLYING
'TILL THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD WILL KNOW
YOU'RE LYING
THEN YOU'LL BE
SUSPECTED
DETECTED
REJECTED
NEGLECTED
DISLIKE
AND YOU SHOULD!
WHEN YOU LIE YOU'RE CLOSING THE DOOR
ON EVERYTHING GOOD
