Rev. Edward W. Clayborn - Let That Lie Alone lyrics

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
