One Thing Leads To Another

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
 You run for cover so discreet
 Why don't they do what they say, say what you mean? Oh, baby
 One thing leads to another
 You tell 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, 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 do what they say, say what they mean?
 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, yeah
 ♪
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
 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 do what they say, say what they mean?
 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
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
 One thing (one thing) leads to another
