When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it leads to another

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 fives lies so folks won't suspect you 

Then you tell six lies and you'll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told 

And half the things you say aren't true 

And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up 

and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie and lie without even trying 

And each lie you tell will keep 

multiplying

'Till the whole world will know

you're lying

Then you'll be

Suspected 

Detected 

Rejected

Neglected

Dislike

And you should!

When you lie, you're choosing the door

On everything good
