Be Careful Of Stones That You Throw

(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
