| You can take the house and everything in it Keep the diamond ring cause thats how I meant it Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me This material life with all it’s value
|
| Don’t mean a thing to me without you
|
| The love that we once had is all I need
|
| So take everything we have if it makes you happy
|
| But darlin let me say before I leave
|
| These sticks and stones ain’t all that makes a home
|
| They don’t have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
|
| Now you say, we are through
|
| These sticks and stones may break me,
|
| But the words you said just tore my heart in two
|
| Remember when we didn’t have a dime between us You took my hand and said we don’t needmuch
|
| Just as long as we’re together we would be fine
|
| Now we’ve acquired all I thought would please you
|
| I gave everything you know that I could
|
| And still you’re telling me you’re not satisfied
|
| So take everything we have if it makes you happy
|
| But darlin let me say before I leave
|
| These sticks and stones may break me,
|
| But the words you said just tore my heart in two |
