《Be Careful of Stones That You Throw》歌词

[00:00:00] Be Careful of Stones That You Throw - The Staple Singers

[00:00:00] Written by：B. Dodd

[00:00:04] So be careful of stones that you throw

[00:00:13] Oh a tongue can accuse

[00:00:17] And carry bad news

[00:00:22] Gossip is cheap and it's lo-o-ow

[00:00:29] So unless you've made

[00:00:33] No mistakes in your life

[00:00:38] Just be careful of stones that you throw

[00:00:47] A neighbor was passing my garden one time

[00:00:51] She stopped and I knew

[00:00:52] Right away that it was gossip

[00:00:55] Not flowers

[00:00:56] She had on her mind

[00:00:58] And this is what I heard

[00:00:59] My neighbor say

[00:01:02] You know

[00:01:02] That girl down the street

[00:01:04] Should be run from our midst

[00:01:06] She drinks and she talks quite a lot

[00:01:10] She knows not to

[00:01:11] Speak to my child and me

[00:01:14] My neighbor

[00:01:15] Then smiled and I thought

[00:01:18] Oh a tongue can accuse

[00:01:23] And carry bad news

[00:01:27] Gossip is cheap

[00:01:31] Cheap and it's lo-o-ow

[00:01:35] So unless you've made

[00:01:37] Unless you've made

[00:01:39] No mistakes in your life

[00:01:44] Just be careful

[00:01:46] Of stones that you throw

[00:01:54] Just then a speeded car pass by

[00:01:58] And the screaming of brakes-a sound that

[00:02:01] Made my blood chill

[00:02:03] For my neighbor's one child

[00:02:05] Had been pulled from the path

[00:02:07] And saved by a girl lying still

[00:02:11] The child was unhurt and

[00:02:13] My neighbor cried out Oh

[00:02:16] Who was that brave girl so sweet

[00:02:20] I covered the crushed

[00:02:21] Broken body and said

[00:02:23] The bad girl who lived down the street

[00:02:28] Unless you've made

[00:02:30] No mistakes in your life

[00:02:34] Just be careful of stones

[00:02:39] That you throw
