[Verse 1]
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 to my birthday party

[Pre-Chorus]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that

[Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroy me
Acting like you're five yеars old
I think it's time you leave mе alone

[Post-Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
[Verse 2]
I'll never be a 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

[Pre-Chorus]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that

[Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroy me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone

[Post-Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me

[Bridge]
Go ahead and tell on me
No one to tell in reality
Mother always said that
Father always said that
Boys like you are dangerous
[Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroy me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone

[Post-Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
Your words will destroy me

[Chorus]
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
The words you spoke destroy me
Acting like you're five years old
I think it's time you leave me alone
