The deception with tact
Just what are you trying to say?
You've 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
They run for cover so discreet
Why don't they do what you say?
Say what they mean oh, babe
Baby, one thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another
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 and I'm up, but your 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 do what they say?
Say what they mean
Baby, one thing leads to another
You told me something wrong
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another
Yeah, yeah, yeah
♪
(One thing)
(One one thing leads to another)
But it's easy to believe, somebody's been lying to me
'Cause 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 bone in the throat
They run for cover so discrete
Why don't they do what the say?
Say what you need
Baby, one thing leads to another
You tell me something wrong
I know I listen too long but then
One thing leads to another
Yeah, yeah
