You can take the house and everything in it
Keep the diamond ring
'Cause that's how I meant it.
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me.
This material life with all it's value,
Don't 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
Ain't all that makes a home.
They don't 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 didn't have a dime between us?
You took my hand and said
"We don't need much".
Just as long as we're together
We would be fine.
Now we've acquired all I thought would please you.
I gave everything you know that I could.
And still you're telling me you're not satisfied.
So take everything we have
If it makes you happy.
But, darlin' let me say before I leave.
These sticks and stones
Ain't all that makes a home.
They don't 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.
