When You Tell One Lie It Leads To Another

When You Tell One Lie It Leads To Another

Lyrics by: 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 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

The you’ll be

Suspected

Detected

Rejected

Neglected

Disliked

And you should!

When you lie, you’re closing the door

On everything good

“When you Tell One Lie, it leads to Another.”

Reflection:

I think what Paul is trying to say is that when you tell a lie to someone it will always follow you. You will always remember it. It will keep building up and up and up until you can’t hold it in anymore and you just explode and that’s why people have terrible lives, because they lie.
