Gossiping hurts every way
Confidence tearing away

Words can make or break you
Words can shake or bake you
Words can give or take your heart
Be careful what you say

Shhh! Come here! Can we talk?
Have you heard the latest on the block?
She what? Oh no! Can't be true!
But it sounds just like something she would do

That's not nice to say

Words confuse or bruise you
Words can turn or burn you
Words can style or file you away
Be careful what you say

She cries all day, poor baby
She cries all night
She cries all day
She cries both night and day

That's not nice to say
That's not nice to say
That's not nice to say
That's not nice to say
She cries all day, poor baby
She cries all night
She cries all day
She cries both night and day

Words can thrill or chill you
Words can fill or kill you
Words can hack and sack your dreams away
Be careful what you say

Why are they perpetuating lies
She can see the gossip in their eyes
Why are they perpetuating lies
She can see the gossip in their eyes

Pick a little, talk a little
Pick a little, talk a little
Chew, chew, chew, let's bite another back
Pick a little, talk a little
Pick a little, talk a little
Chew, chew, chew, let's bite another back

Sticks and stones will break my bones
But words will break my heart
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But words will break my heart
She cries all day, poor baby
She cries all night
She cries all day
She cries both night and day
