Be Careful of Stones That You Throw - The Staple Singers
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
A neighbor was passing 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
Cheap and it's lo-o-ow
So unless you've made
Unless you've made
No mistakes in your life
Just be careful
Of stones that you throw
Just then a speeded car pass by
And the screaming 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 lying 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
Unless you've made
No mistakes in your life
Just be careful of stones
That you throw
