Paroles: The Fixx. One Thing Leads To Another.

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)
