People talkin' tryin' to break us up

Why won't they let us be

Bricks and stones may break my bones

but talk don't bother me



People talkin' tryin' to break us up

When they know that I love you so

So I don't care what the people may say

I'll never never let you go



I've been abused

(I've been abused)

In my heart

(my heart's been torn)

I've been accused

(I've been accused)

I've been 'buked

(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)



People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah

Scandlizin' my name

They'll say anything just to make me feel bad

Yes anything to make me shame
