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



(No) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

When they know that I love you so

So I don't care what the people might say

I'm never gonna let you go



I've been abused (I've been abused)

In my heart (I've been accused)

I've been accused (I've been accused)

I've been rebuked and I've been stomped



(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

They're scandalizing my name

They'll say anything just to make me feel bad

They'll say anything to make me shamed



I've been abused (I've been abused)

In my heart (I've been accused)

I've been accused (I've been accused)

I've been rebuked and I've been stomped



(Well) People talkin', tryin' to break us up

They're scandalizing my name

They'll say anything just to make me feel bad

They'll say anything to make me shamed
