Don't go around spreading rumours Even if what you say is true Before you go and tell your tales You better think things true So speak no evil, Evil won't happen to you I've been mad enough to kill someone But I couldn't face the task So I tried to shout them down With this big mouth of mine So speak no evil, evil will get you in time I've been about ..... that that shouldn't mess with you Every time that I lied, you know I mean to tell the truth No matter where I go , no matter what I do or say Somebody gonna telling me, when they oughtta back away Words thrown out in anger, always come back to haunt you Once they go they told me, talk so hard to undo So speak no evil, evil will come back to you Better speak no evil, evil will come back to you
