[Verse 1]
You and I go together
Like the molar and the drill
Flesh is weak but darling we know
That the ego's weaker still
I've been hung, drawn and quartered
Slowly slaughtered like a goat
By the tongue of a woman
Who just couldn't let it go

[Chorus]
Sticks and stones may break my body
But words can tear me apart
So be careful when you tell me
Spare a thought for my heart

[Verse 2]
Broken bones fuse together
Bruises never last for long
But once they're said, words stay spoken
And hearts stay broken from that moment on

[Chorus]
Sticks and stones may break my body
But words can tear me apart
So be careful when you tell me
Spare a thought for my heart
