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 bother,
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 six lies and you’ll collect
A life filled with worries and fears
‘Cause you cant remember how many lies you’ve told
And half the things you say aren’t true
And sometime 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
Deleted
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you’re closing the door
On everything good
