    When You Tell One Lie
when you tell one lie, it lead 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

The 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
