be careful of stones that you throw - the staple singers lyrics

[intro]
(so be careful of stones that you throw)

[chorus]
oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
gossip is cheap and it’s low
so unless you’ve made no mistakes in your life
just be careful of stones that you throw

[verse 1]
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 & talks quite a lot
she knows not to speak to my child and me.’
my neighbor then smiled and i thought
[chorus]
oh, a tongue can accuse and carry bad news
gossip is cheap and it’s low
but unless you’ve made no mistakes in your life
be careful of stones that you throw

[verse 2]
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.’

[outro]
so unless you’ve made no mistakes in your life
just be careful of stones that you throw
