| [Verse 1] The deception with tact, Just what are you trying to say? You got a blank face, which irritates, Communicate, pull out your party piece You see dimensions in two, State your case with black or white But when one little cross, Leads to shots, grit your teeth You run for cover so discreet, Why don't they [CHORUS] Do what they say, Say what [you/they] mean Oh baby, one thing leads to another You told me something wrong I know I listen too long, But then one thing leads to another [Verse 2] The impression that you sell, Passes in and out like a scent But the long face that you see, Comes from living close to your fears If this is up, then I'm up, But you're running out of sight You've seen your name on the walls, And when one little bump, Leads to shock, miss a beat You run for cover and there's heat, Why don't they [CHORUS] [Bridge] One thing (One, one thing) leads to another [Verse 3] Then it's easy to believe, Somebody's been lying to me But when the wrong word, Goes in the right ear I know you've been lying to me, It's getting rough, off the cuff I've got to say enough's enough, Bigger the harder, he falls But when the wrong antidote, Is like a bulge on the throat You run for cover in the heat, Why don't they [CHORUS] [Outro] One thing (One, one thing) leads to another (One, another, thing, one thing) [x8] |
