When you tell one lie it leads to another

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 four 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 wide world will know you're lying

Then you'll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door

on everything good
