Various Artists - One Thing Leads to Another Lyrics

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?
Baby one thing leads to another
You told me somethin' 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?
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 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 lyin' to me
It's gettin' rough, off the cuff
I've got to say enough to know, 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 the 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
