"Sticks And Stones" lyrics

"Sticks And Stones"
(originally by Ray Charles)

People talking trying to break us up
Why don't they let us be?
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Anything to make me shame

I've been abused (I've been abused)
In my heart (my heart and soul)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been 'buked (I've been 'buked and I've been juped)

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
But 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 (oh, in my heart)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been 'buked (I've been 'buked)

People talking trying to break us up
Why don't they let us be?
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
