Sticks & Stones [words & music by Joe Mombrea]
"You sometimes say some very stupid things."  That's what she said.
"Are you playing me for a fool--playing with my head?
How can you make me feel so high, and somehow bring me down?"
Yes, all these things she said; yet never made a sound...

"And I've been hurt so many times before, but I survived.
And
'what won't kill me can only make me stronger'--what a lie!
Somehow I thought that you'd be different from the start.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart."

And I can never forget the sadness in her eyes.
They conveyed a thousand heartbreaks just before she cried.
"I really thought that you'd be different from the start.
Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will break my heart.
