Lyrics
Nothing At All
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
On and on and on and on she goes
And where she stops no one really knows
Everybody's got a problem so it seems
And she ain't afraid of tellin' me
Whoa, oh, but if you can't say nothin' good
Don't say nothin' at all
Well, on and on and on and on he goes
Now look who's the one playin' the fool
Criticizing, telling lies and putting down
Ain't you got nothin' better to do
If you can't say nothin' good,
Don't say nothin' at all, whoa, yeah
'Cause I know that there are times in life
When we just can't keep it to ourselves
But to want is not to make it right
We've got to tame our tongue
Well, if you can't say nothin' good
Don't say nothin' at all
Well, on and on and on and on we go
We're playing the game that never ends
I think it's time that we all realize
The broken heart is hard to mend
Whoa, yeah, but if you can't say nothin' good
Don't say nothin at all
'Cause I know that there are times in life
when we just can't keep it to ourselves
But to want is not to make it right
We've got to tame our tongue
Well, if you can't say nothin' good
Don't say nothin' at all
(Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be so.)
'Cause I know that there are times in life
when we just can't keep it to ourselves
But to want is not to make it right
We've got to tame our tongue
Well, if you can't say nothin' good
Don't say nothin' at all
Don't say nothin' at all
Don't say nothin' at all
Don't say nothin' at all
Don't say nothin' at all
