Lyrics
5 friends joking and hanging around, having fun. That's what good friends do, like you and me.

The way it should be, it's all good, then you stand over the line, not fine...

Saying things that no one should say any day, leaving others feeling kind of bad, even sad. Here's a little news for you, if you choose.

I think you're really blue and it's not all right, it's not OK. You gotta be careful and watch the things that you say...

You went over the line and now you wonder why we're all upset. Maybe it was something you said.

Be careful with the things you say.

Everybody really wants to just fit in, maybe win.

Everybody needs a little space, someplace where they can go and have a little fun, maybe run with people who accept them.

Nobody wants to be the one last picked or tricked. No one wants to be left out, no doubt.

So, maybe you can turn it around, upside-down and start apologizing.

It's not all right, it's not OK. You've gotta be careful and watch the things that you say...

You went over the line and now you wonder why we're all upset.

Maybe it was something you said. Be careful with the things you say.

You don't have to put another down so don't you do it, don't you do it.

You like it better when you check yourself like good friends should...

5 friends joking and hanging around, having fun, acting how it used to be, kind of free.

Everybody's getting along, a better song, no one's getting put down.

Lots of laughs, feeling kind of good inside, a better ride, now I think you got it.

Keep it real, feel a much better deal when everybody learns to speak with kindness.

It's not all right. It's not OK. You've got to be careful and watch the things that you say.

You went over the line and now you wonder why we're all upset.

Maybe it was something you said. Be careful with the things you say.
