Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart,
So if you carried on for me,
Think twice before you start.
To say something that you don't mean
Might drift us apart.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart.
I've seen so many times before
Where lovers played a game.
A-foolish words they didn't mean
But they hurt all the same.
So many times they realized,
Too many times too late,
That only fools play such a game
And make such a mistake.
Oh, sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart,
So if you ever have to leave,
Speak quickly* as you part.
And when you go, just one last smile
And one last kind remark.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart.
Yes, I've seen so many times before
Where lovers played a game.
A-foolish words they didn't mean
But they hurt all the same.
So many times they realized,
Too many times too late,
That only fools play such a game
And make such a mistake.
Oh sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart,
So if you ever have to leave,
Speak quickly* as you part.
And when you go, just one last smile
And one last kind remark.
Well, sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart.
Sticks and stones can break my bones
But words can break my heart.
