STICKS AND STONES

Downtown is a man who knows me
Downtown is a man with touch
Downtown is a man who knows sweet,
sweet nothings are nothing much.
Mama, she told me that loving comes easy..but I still have my doubts.
Mama, can you see what this boy does to me?
Well worth the scarlet on my blouse.
Don't hold back at all.
Cause bruises can be beautiful.
I see you staring but my sin, I let it breath.
My Monday morning skinned up knees.
The worthless nature of your words alone..
You got to have the gold to back them up cause they'll never hurt.
Just give me the sticks and the stones.
Mama, she told me that loving comes easy..but I still have my doubts.
Mama, can you see what this boy does to me?
Well worth the scarlet on my blouse.
Just words, just a letter, just me.
Don't hold back at all.
Cause bruises can be beautiful.
If you mean it let me feel it now...
Sticks and stones, there he waits for me
I'll take my bruises
I see you staring but my sin, I let it breath.
My Monday morning skinned up knees.
