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 you say?   Say what you mean oh, babe   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   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   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 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)   One thing leads to another   (One thing, one thing leads to another)   (One thing, one thing leads to another)   (One thing)
