Lyrics for Sticks And Stones
People talkin' tryin' to break us up Why won't they let us be Bricks and stones may break my bones But talk don't bother me People talkin' tryin' to break us up When they know that I love you so So I don't care what the people may say I'll never never let you go I've been abused (I've been abused) In my heart (my heart's been torn) I've been accused (I've been accused) I've been 'buked (I've been 'buked and I've been stung) People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah Scandalizin' my name They'll say anything just to make me feel bad Yes anything to make me shame I've been abused (I've been abused) In my heart (my heart's been torn) I've been accused (I've been accused) I've been 'buked (I've been 'buked and I've been stung) People talkin' tryin' to break us, yup And they scandalizin' my name They'll say anything just to make me feel bad Yes anything to make me shame Yes I know (oh, yes I know) Yes I know it (oh, yes I know) And you know it, too (oh, yes I know) Don't you know it, too (oh, yes I know) Ohhhhh, don't you know it too
