Paul Hatch

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 to try to protect you

then you tell five 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 sometimes you'll slip up, you'll trip up

and then 

whatever will become of you?

so you lie and lie 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 

and you should!

when you lie you're closing the door 

on everything good
