Let That Liar Alone

1
If you don’t want to get in trouble
5
If you don’t want to get in trouble
1
If you don’t want to get in trouble
5 1
You better let that liar alone

1
Well let me tell you people what a liar will do
5
He’s always coming with something new
1
He’ll steal your heart with a false pretense
5 1
Make out like he’s your bosom 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
