If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You better let that liar alone
Just let me tell you how a liar will do
He's always coming with something new
Steal your heart with false pretense
Makin' out like he's your bosom friend
When he find out you believes what he say
Then that liar gonna have his way
Bring you news about women and men
He'll make you fall out with your dearest friend
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You better let that liar alone
When the liar takes a notion to fend and prove
He lay around the neighbors, get the news
Nearly every day, you look out
You see that liar comin' to your house
Tell us bunch of lies, surprise your mind
He'll mix a little truth to make it shine
When he gets his business fixed just right
Then that liar gonna cause a fight
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You better let that liar alone
When everything's in perfect peace
Then come the liar with his deceit
He'll make pretense that he love you so well
Everything you hear, you must come and tell
Tell you, "My friend, if you just knew
Certain someone told me 'bout you"
He has spread enough lie, he'll tell it so smooth
You'll think, undoubtedly, "That must be true"
He lured you out, to trust the lie
You'll have to go to jail and stand the trial
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
If you don't want to get in trouble
You better let that liar alone
