When You Tell One Lie                                                                                          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 wont suspect you

Then you tell sex lies and you’ll collect

A life filled with worries and fears

‘Cause you cant remember how many lies you’ve told

And half then 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 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

Dislike

And you should

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good
