Sticks and Stones (Featured In "Hidden Figures") - Ray Charles

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 People talkin tryin to break us up When 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 and soul

I’ve been abused

Been abused, been abused, and I’ve been stoned

People talkin tryin to break us up Man, scandalize my name

They’ll say anything just to make me feel bad

Yes, anything to make me ashamed

I’ve been abused

In my heart and soul

I’ve been abused

Been abused, been abused, and I’ve been stoned

People talkin tryin to break us up Man, scandalize my name

They’ll say anything just to make me feel bad

Yes, anything to make me ashamed

Oh, yes, I know

Don’t you know it, too

Yes, I know it Don’t you know it, too
