Andy Michaels - Sticks and Stones (feat. Carolyn Thomas) Lyrics

I picked myself up in the school yard
Bruised and sore I couldn't go far
I picked up my books that still lay strewn
I tried to speak you had already gone

Some fight for fun some fight for the game
I had no choice but to act the same
A schoolboy's pride meant so much to me
And all I want is them to let you be

Cos... If I could If I could I would spell for you
If I could If I could I would speak for you
If I could If I could I would learn for you
If I could If I could I would run for you

I wanted to tell you that kids aren't all the same
And as I watched you cry I felt so ashamed

I remember the words about sticks and stones
But names still hurt when your on your own
Sticks and stones might break your bones (But names wont hurt you)
Sticks and stones might break your bones (But names wont hurt you)

Cos...
If I could If I could I would spell for you
If I could If I could I would speak for you
If I could If I could I would learn for you
If I could If I could I would run for you

Sticks and stones might break your bones (You gotta keep your courage up)
(And names won't hurt you)
Sticks and stones might break your bones (You gotta keep your courage up )
(But names won't hurt you)
Sticks and stones might break your bones (You gotta keep your courage up )
But Names WONT hurt you
