[Verse 1]
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're undercover, so discrete
[Chorus]
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 do something wrong
But one thing leads to another
[Verse 2]
Then its easy to believe
That somebody has been lying to me
But when the wrong word goes in the right ear
I know you've been lying to me
{Chorus]
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 do something wrong
But one thing leads to another
[Bridge]
Why don't they do what they say
Say what you mean
One thing leads to another
One thing leads to another
Do what you say
Say what you mean
One thing leads to another
