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

(No) People talkin´, tryin´ to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don´t care what the people might say
I´m never gonna let you go

I´ve been abused (I´ve been abused)
In my heart (I´ve been accused)
I´ve been accused (I´ve been accused)
I´ve been rebuked and I´ve been stomped

(Well) People talkin´, tryin´ to break us up
They´re scandalizing my name
They´ll say anything just to make me feel bad
They´ll say anything to make me shamed

I´ve been abused (I´ve been abused)
In my heart (I´ve been accused)
I´ve been accused (I´ve been accused)
I´ve been rebuked and I´ve been stomped

(Well) People talkin´, tryin´ to break us up
They´re scandalizing my name
They´ll say anything just to make me feel bad
They´ll say anything to make me shamed
