Tell a little lie And it gets started Break a little bread And the tie that binds Add another lie Then they start flowing Then it won't be long Until it's going, going gone I'm talking about love That's the way it goes Give a cheating look Off to a stranger Tell a little smile From across the room Plant a little seed And it starts growing And it be long Until it's going, going gone I'm talking about love That's the way it goes Once love is done in The leaving coming The door is closed No use in knocking When love is walking That's the way love That's the way it goes Build a little wall Then build it higher Never give an inch Until you take a mile Never see the tears Even when they are showing Then it won't take long Until it's going, going gone I'm talking about love That's the way it goes I'm talking about love That's the way it goes I'm talking about love That's the way it goes I'm talking about love That's the way it goes
