Be Careful of Stones That You Throw

Be Careful of Stones That You Throw - Dion

Written by：Bonnie Dodd

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 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 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

So unless you've made no mistakes in your life

Just be careful of stones that you throw
