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 n 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 cant 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 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, your closing the door
on everything good
