Sticks and Stones

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hey domino

I am stopping you from falling

1-2-3 Don't you dare go down

Hey waterfall

Oh can you hear me calling?

3-2-1 don't you dare touch the ground

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones

And leave them lying in the mud

But you'll be scared when we're alone

Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell

But it just might blow your top

And you start to run just as I'm having fun

It's awfully hard to stop

It's awfully hard to stop

Sun in the sky

I ain't stopping you from burning

All we need is stars and Moon

Clock on the wall

I will keep your hands from turning

Or this night will end too soon

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones

And leave them lying in the mud

But you'll be scared when we're alone

Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell

But it just might blow your top

And you start to run just as I'm having fun

It's awfully hard to stop

It's awfully hard to stop

It's just too hard to stop

I call thee, beloved one

To love me more than anyone

Seven times I pierce my heart

And now you feel the magic start

Bind thy heart and soul to me

As I do will

So let it be, oh

Ooh

Hey lover boy

Oh now do you believe me?

That's not all that I can do

Sit back down

I'm afraid we won't be leaving

Can't undo my spell on you

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

I'm the one you want

Sticks and stones will break your bones

And leave them lying in the mud

But you'll be scared when we're alone

Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell

But you just might blow your top

And you start to run just as I'm having fun

It's awfully hard to stop

Sticks and stones will break your bones

And leave them lying in the mud

But you'll be scared when we're alone

Like I might suck your blood

And I could tell you a witch's spell

But it just might blow your top

And you start to run just as I'm having fun

It's awfully hard to stop

It's awfully hard to stop

It's just too hard to stop

I don't think I can stop
