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
