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're being mean
Never be invited for my birthday party

Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell me how to be
Mother always said that
Father always said that

Sticks and 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 and 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 and 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 and stones won't break my bones)
(Your words will destroy me)

Sticks and stones
Won't break my bones
The words you spoke
Destroyed me

(Sticks and 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 and 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 and stones won't break my bones)
(Your words will destroy me)

Sticks and 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
