[Verse 1]
I heard I'm the talk of the town
(You can't keep your mouth shut)
They say I been messin' around
(If I did) So what
You gonna do about it?
Tell all your friends about it
That I'm a sweet-talk train wreck
Tryna get revenge, but I can live without it
Ain't even mad about it
So you can lie, lie, lie

[Chorus]
But you better be
Careful where you point your finger
You never know who's listening (Who's listening)
People just love to whisper
What goes around comes back again
I got dirt, but I don't spill the tea
Mama always said you better be
Careful wherе you point your finger
Never know whеn it's gonna point back at you

[Verse 2]
You think you can win
(At the same bar every night)
If you'd seen where I've been
(Well, it's the same cut) Different knife
Stickin' out my back, you did it
I got a couple stitches
Now I'm the Kissin' Kate catch, ridin' horses out west
And I can live without you, already forgot about you
Until you lied, lied, lied
[Chorus]
So you better be
Careful where you point your finger
You never know who's listening (Who's listening)
People just love to whisper
What goes around comes back again
I got dirt, but I don't spill the tea
Mama always said you better be
Careful where you point your finger
Never know when it's gonna point back at you

[Post-Chorus]
Careful, yeah, oh
Careful, yeah
Careful, yeah, oh
Careful, yeah

[Bridge]
Ooh-ooh
I got dirt, but I don't spill it, no
Mama always said you better be, yeah

[Chorus]
You better be
Careful where you point your finger (Oh)
You never know who's listening, oh
People just love to whisper
What goes around comes back again
Careful where you point your finger
You never know who's listening (Who's listening)
People just love to whisper (Love to whisper)
What goes around comes back again
I got dirt, but I don't spill the tea
Mama always said you better be
Careful where you point your finger
Never know when it's gonna point back at you
