People talkin' tryin' to break us up why won't they let me be

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words don't bother me

I've been abused in my heart I've been abused I've been abused in my heart

People talkin' tryin' to break us up 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 I've been abused yeah I've been abused in my heart

[ piano - guitar ]
