[1] If you don't want to get in trouble
If you [5] don't want to get in trouble
If you [1] don't want to get in trouble
You better let that [5] liar a-[1]-lone
[1] Well let me tell you people what a liar will do
He's always coming with [5] something new
He'll [1] steal your heart with a false pretense
Make out like he's your [5] bosom [1] friend
When a liar takes the notion to defend and prove
He'll lay around his neighbors to get the news
Nearly every day when you look out
You can see that liar coming to your house
He'll tell you such a lie it'll surprise your mind
He'll mix a little truth for to make it shine
When he finds out you believe what he say
Then that liar's gonna have his way
When everything is in perfect peace
Here comes that liar with his deceit
When he gets his business fixed just right
Then that liar's gonna cause a fight
Well, he makes that lie he loves you so well
Everything he hears he must come and tell
Let me tell you sister if you wanna hear
What a certain somebody said about you
He studies up a lie tell it so smooth
And you think absolutely that it must be true
He'll urge you out to trace the tale
And if you don't mind you'll be put in jail
A hypocrite a liar both kicks up a fuss
Both very bad but a liar's worse
[1] If you don't want to get in trouble
If you [5] don't want to get in trouble
If you [1] don't want to get in trouble
You better let that [5] liar a-[1]-lone
[1] Well let me tell you people what a liar will do
He's always coming with [5] something new
He'll [1] steal your heart with a false pretense
Make out like he's your [5] bosom [1] friend
When a liar takes the notion to defend and prove
He'll lay around his neighbors to get the news

When everything is in perfect peace
Here comes that liar with his deceit

A hypocrite a liar both kicks up a fuss
Both very bad but a liar's worse
