My mama told me when I was a child Son, you've gotta keep a hold of your tongue And if you don't have anything nice to say, my child Well, don't say anything at all
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth Someone's listening Taking as the truth every word that comes out So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word
My father told me people see a preacher preach And assume that the words are the Lord's So before you spout out your most recent thoughts Just remember who you're speaking for Or don't say anything at all
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth Someone's listening
Taking as the truth every word that comes out So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word
The word was made flesh and He dwelt among men There's a truth deeper than our opinion With a message of life for the dead And who will tell them?
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth Someone's listening Taking as the truth every word that comes out So don't, so don't
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth Someone, someone Is taking as the truth every word that comes out Don't, don't, don't Don't say a word
