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 front garden one day, he stopped
And I knew right away that what she had on her mind wasn't flowers
And 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 child 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
Then a car speeded by and the screaming of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For I seen my neighbor's only child
Been pulled from his path and saved by a girl lying still
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out
Oh how could that brave girl be so sweet
I covered the crushed broken body and said
That's the bad girl that lives 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
