One Thing Leads To Another

The Fixx



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 they say, say what you mean

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 then I'm up but you're 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

One thing leads to another



Then 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 runs for cover in the heat why don't they



Do what they 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

One thing leads to another (Repeat
