Sticks & Stones

I'll never be the band-aid on your knee
Our initials won't be in a tree
You won't go down the slide with me
Nothing is the way it used to be
I won't say bless you when you sneeze
Won't trade my crayons for anything
You only have fun when you being mean
Nothing is the way it used to be
Go ahead and tell on me!
No one to tell me how to be
Mother always said that
Father always said that
Sticks & Stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me
Acting like you're 5 years old
I think It's time you leave me alone
(Sticks & Stones won't break my bones)
(Your words will destroy me)
I'll never be the night light when you sleep
Honestly, I'm baffled by your immaturity
Stop laughing 'bout the birds and bees
Nothing is the way it used to be
Go ahead and tell on me!
No one to tell me how to be
Mother always said that
Father always said that
Sticks & Stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me
Acting like you're 5 years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
(Sticks & Stones won't break my bones)
(Your words will destroy me)
Sticks & Stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me
(Sticks & Stones won't break my bones)
(Your words will destroy me)
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell me how to be
Mother always said that
Father always said that
Boys like you are dangerous
Sticks & Stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me
Acting like you're 5 years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
(Sticks & Stones won't break my bones) (bones)
(Your words will destroy me)
Sticks & Stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me
Acting like you're 5 years old
I think It's time you leave me alone
