A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
A neighbor was passing my garden
One time she stopped and I knew right away
It was gossip not flowers she had on her mind
Is what I heard my neighbor say
"That bad 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 litter girl or to me
My neighbor then smiled and I thought
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
A car speeded by and the screaming of brakes
A screaming made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path
And saved by a girl lying still
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out
Who was that brave girl so sweet "
I covered the crushed broken body and sad
It's just said the bad girl who lived down the street
A tongue can accuse and carry bad news
The seeds of distrust it will sow
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life
Be careful of stones that you throw
