Tangled Web

(Harlan Howard)



With heavy heart I hurry home

Afraid the one I love is gone

Afraid she knows I've been untrue

Afraid of what she'll do.



Oh, what a tangled web we weave

When first we been through to deceive

What a tangled web we weave

To keep from hurting someone.



I don't know why I went astray

The price is more than I can pay

I lie to hide the things that I do

But one lie leads to two.



Oh, what a tangled web we weave

When first we been through to deceive

What a tangled web we weave

To keep from hurting someone.



When she should find out where I've been

I know that it will be the end

If I can't keep my guilt within

I'll never lie again.



Oh, what a tangled web we weave

When first we been through to deceive

What a tangled web we weave

To keep from hurting someone...
