The truth about lying, it's bad for your soul
It can eat you up from within
That little white lie can get out of control
The truth is, lying is a sin
First you think that you can get away with it
And nobody will notice what you do
But like Pinocchio, your nose will grow and grow
Then trouble will come running after you
You think it doesn't matter, economical with truth
Isn't that what everybody does?
Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When at first we do deceive
Then later on it gives you a buzz
Oh, the truth about lying, it's bad for your soul
It can eat you up from within
That little white lie can get out of control
The truth is, lying is a sin
The truth about lying, it's bad for your soul
It can eat you up from within
That little white lie can get out of control
The truth is, lying is a sin
Once you've said something, you can never take it back
There's always a price to pay
But the all-seeing eye knows just when you lie
And he hears everything that you say
I hear it in your words, I see it in your face
And you ain't fooling anyone
There's no turning back once you're on the wrong track
You're playing with a loaded gun
Oh, the truth about lying, it's bad for your soul
It can eat you up from within
That little white lie can get out of control
The truth is, lying is a sin
Oh, the truth about lying, it's bad for your soul
It can eat you up from within
That little white lie can get out of control
The truth is, lying is a sin
