Sticks And Stones

People talkin' tryin' to break us up Why don't they let us be? Sticks and stones may break my bones But talk don't bother me Now, people talkin' tryin' to break us up When they know that I love you so So I don't care what the people might say I'll never, never let you go I've been abused (I've been abused) In my heart (I've been accused) I've been accused (I've been accused) I've been rebuked and I've been stung People talkin' tryin' to break us up Scandalizin' my name They say anything just to make me feel bad They'll say anything to make me ashamed I've been abused (I've been abused) In my heart (I've been accused) I've been accused (I've been accused) I've been rebuked and I've been stung People talkin' tryin' to break us up Scandalizin' my name They say anything just to make me feel bad They'll say anything to make me ashamed
