Think before you open your mouth

Think and let your brain spill out

Think you might ruin a decent day

Think just because you've got nothing good to say

Think why don't you curb your tongue

Think before the damage is done

Think and with your ignorance revealed

Think how bad you'll feel

The only problem is there has to be a problem

You can't please everyone, it's always something

And you don't want to know what people really think about you

Think put away your poison darts

Think and your ironic remarks

Think it doesn't matter in the end

Think except you'll have to make amends

Think and when you know you've been a jerk

Think how it's gonna hurt

The only problem is there has to be a problem

You can't please everyone, it's always something

And you don't want to know what people really think about you

The message of this song is a lesson for us all

If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all

'Cause silence is golden and you ought to try it out

'Cause it's hard to complain when you're putting your mouth

Think you ought to curb your tongue

Think before the damage is done

Think you might ruin a nice day

Think before you say what you say, yeah

Think

Think
