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

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’m never gonna let you go

I’ve been abused
In my heart
I’ve been accused
I’ve been rebuked and I’ve been stomped

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

I’ve been abused
In my heart
I’ve been accused
I’ve been rebuked and I’ve been stomped

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
