When You Tell One Lie

When You Tell One Lie
Paul Hatch

When you tell one lie, it lead to another So you tell two lies to cover each other Then yo 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 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 sometime you slip up, you'll trip up whatever will become of you?
So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the who;e 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
