About Sticks and Stones

"Sticks and Stones" is an R&B song, written by Titus Turner. The song is best known in a 1960 version by Ray Charles, who added the Latin drum part. It was his first R&B hit with ABC-Paramount, followed in 1961 with "Hit The Road Jack". The song was also covered by Jerry Lee Lewis, The Zombies, Wanda Jackson and The Kingsmen, as well as Joe Cocker on Mad Dogs and Englishmen, and Elvis Costello in 1994 on the extended play version of Kojak Variety.

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Why don't they let us be
Sticks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know I love you so
I don't care what the people may say
I'll never never let you go

I've been abused
In my heart and soul
I've been abused
Been abused, been abused, and I've been stoned

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Man, scandalize my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes, anything to make me ashamed

I've been abused
In my heart and soul
I've been abused
Been abused, been abused, and I've been stoned

People talkin' tryin' to break us up
Man, scandalize my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes, anything to make me ashamed

Oh, yes, I know
Don't you know it, too
Yes, I know it
Don't you know it, too
