Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw

Lyrics

[Intro] (So be careful of stones that you throw) [Chorus] Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news Gossip is cheap and it's low So unless you've made no mistakes in your life Just be careful of stones that you throw [Verse 1] A neighbor was passin' my garden one time She stopped and I knew right away That it was gossip, not flowers she had on her mind And this is what I heard my neighbor say 'You know that girl down the street Should be run from our midst, she drinks & talks quite a lot She knows not to speak to my child and me.' My neighbor then smiled and I thought [Chorus] Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news Gossip is cheap and it's low But unless you've made no mistakes in your life Be careful of stones that you throw [Verse 2] Just then a car speeded by in the screamin' of brakes A sound that made my blood chill For my neighbor's one child had been Pulled from the path and saved by a girl lyin' still The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out 'Oh who was that brave girl so sweet? I covered the crushed broken body and said 'The bad girl who lived down the street.' [Outro] So unless you've made no mistakes in your life Just be careful of stones that you throw
