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 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

Disliked 

And you should!

When you lie, You're closing the door

 on everything good
