Dion - Be Careful of Stones That You Throw lyrics

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

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

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
