When you tell one lie...

When You Tell One Lie it Leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, its 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 told

And half the things you say aren't true

And sometime you'll slip. you'll trip up and then

Whatever will become of you?

So you lie a 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

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you're closing the door

On everything good.
