When You Tell One Lie 

Paul Hatch

When you tell  One Lie 

When you tell on 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 years!

 So you tell four lies to try to protect you

Then you have 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 say aren't true

And sometime you'' slip up, you'' 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
