(So be careful of stones that you throw)
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it`s lo-o-ow
So unless you`ve made no mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones that you throw
SPOKEN: 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 and she talks quite a lot. She knows not to speak to
my child
and me. My neighbor then smiled and I thought
Oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
Gossip is cheap and it`s lo-o-ow
But unless you`ve made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
SPOKEN: 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.
So unless you`ve made no mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones that you throw
