Lyrics

(VERSE)
I can hear you from a mile away
But you never have anything good to say
And if a story needs to be heard
Then you've always got to have the last word

And you wonder why no one
Wants to be in your company
But it is plain to see

(CHORUS)
That is just the price you pay
For all those careless words that you say
You won't get any sympathy from me, no

And I won't go to you for advice
If I've heard it once, then I've heard it twice
And besides, you only listen to keep track
Of the things you can say behind my back

And you only get filthy
From spreading dirt

That is just the price you pay
For all those careless words that you say
You won't get any sympathy from me

(BRIDGE)
If you have a problem with me
You just tell somebody else
That way you avoid a conflict
And get some blows in for yourself

Take just a minute, and hold your tongue
So you can see all the damage you've done
And when it all comes back to you
Then tell me what are you going to do?

And you wish that you could
Take it back

All those careless words
