When you Tell One Lie it leads to Another

Paul Hatch

When you tell a 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 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
