Lyrics Sticks and Stones - Ray Charles, Betty Carter

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 People talkin tryin to break us up When they know I love you so I don’t care what the people may say
I’ll never never let you go
I’ve been abused
In my heart and soul
I’ve been abused
Been abused, been abused, and I’ve been stoned
People talkin tryin to break us up Man, scandalize my name
They’ll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes, anything to make me ashamed
I’ve been abused
In my heart and soul
I’ve been abused
Been abused, been abused, and I’ve been stoned
People talkin tryin to break us up Man, scandalize my name
They’ll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes, anything to make me ashamed
Oh, yes, I know
Don’t you know it, too
Yes, I know it Don’t you know it, too
