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 said aren't true 

and sometimes you'll slip up. you'll trip 

and then 

Whatever will become of you? 

so you lie without even trying

and each lie you tell will keep multilpying 

'till the whole world will know 

you're lying 

then you'll be 

suspected 

detected 

rejected 

neglected

dislike 

and you should! 

when you lie, you're closing the door 

on everything good
