She ran out of love
One more chance she said
If you love me baby pay the rent
Don't throw stones
You don't know
It's not what you say it's what you do
Don't throw stones
I'm in lucky with money
I'm twice as bad at work
If you love me buy me a big TV
You're good for nothing lazy junk
(Repeat 2 times)
Don't throw stones
You don't know
It's not what you say it's what you do
Don't throw stones
I'm no good
But you're no better baby
If you want to fight with me
You better send a little love

Don't throw stones
You don't know
It's not what you say it's what you do
Don't throw stones
