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 brother,

you're in trouble up to your ears!

So you tell four lies to try to protect you 

Then you tell 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 can't remember how many lies you've 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 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
