Sticks & Stones

You can take the house and everything in it
Keep the diamond ring cause thats how I meant it
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me
This material life with all its value
Dont mean a thing to me without you
The love that we once had is all I need
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before I leave
These sticks and stones aint all that makes a home
They dont have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
Now you say we are through
These sticks and stones may break me
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
Remember when we didnt have a dime between us
You took my hand and said we dont need much
Just as long as were together we would be fine
And now weve acquired all I thought would please you
I gave everything you know that I could
And still youre telling me youre not satisfied
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before I leave
These sticks and stones aint all that makes a home
They dont have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
Now you say we are through
These sticks and stones may break me
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
These sticks and stones may break me
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
