[Verse 1]
People talk about breaking off
Can't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

[Verse 2]
People talk about breaking off
Scandalize my name
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But I'll never be the same

[Chorus]
I've been abused
In my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
People talk about breaking off
Can't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

Oh, oh, oh, oh!
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I've been abused
Out of my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start
Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 1]
People talk about breaking off
Can't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

[Intrumental]

[Chorus]
I've been abused
In my home
I've been abused
I've been abused right from the start

[Verse 1]
People talk about breaking off
Can't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
