Sticks and Stones - Joe Cocker

People talking, trying to break us up
Why don't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

(No) People talking, trying 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 going to let you go

I've been abused (I've been abused)
In my heart (I've been accused)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been rebuked and I've been stomped

(Well) People talking, trying to break us up
They're scandalizing my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
They'll say anything to make me shamed

I've been abused (I've been abused)
In my heart (I've been accused)
I've been accused (I've been accused)
I've been rebuked and I've been stomped

(Well) People talking, trying to break us up
They're scandalizing my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
They'll say anything to make me shamed
