Story Behind The Song
Standing in Walgreens aisle and a little boy about 3 yrs old wandered down the aisle,,not touching anything not bothering anyone and his mother came rushing at him, whacked him and picked him up by the arm and slammed into a shopping cart. It bothered me enough to think of what other children, terribly abused children must go thru and how they feel,,,,bothered me enough to write a song about it. I just wish those children and those who abuse them could hear the song,,,,i wish the world could hear the song,,maybe if it made a difference for one child,,,,,it's worth it
Song Description
THIS SONG IS WHAT I IMAGINE AN ABUSED CHILD GOES THRU AND HOW HE/SHE FEELS. WHAT MUST IT BE LIKE TO BE ABUSED BY SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU.
I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA, MY PARENTS WERE AWESOME. THIS SONG IS JUST HOW I IMAGINE IT MIGHT BE BASED ON WHAT WE READ AND SEE SO MANY TIMES ON THE NEWS.

Lyrics
YOU BEAT ME UP FOR FUN
I DARE NOT TELL ANYONE
OR YOU BEAT ME HARDER THAN BEFORE
YOU CHAIN ME UP TO MY BED
FOR SOMETHING I MIGHT HAVE SAID
YOU MAKE ME EAT OFF OF THE FLOOR
WHOA, WISH I COULD BREAK RIGHT THRU THE DOOR
STICKS AND STONES
YOU BREAK MY BONES, I'M STANDING
DADDY LEFT YEARS AGO
WHY I WILL NEVER KNOW
BUT I SEE WHAT YOU'VE TURNED INTO
WOULDN'T WANNA BE AROUND YOU
I KNOW THEY'LL COME A DAY
WHEN I'LL GET TO BREAK AWAY
YOU'LL GET WHAT YOU'VE GOT COMIN'
NO CHANCE OF EVEN RUNNIN'
AND I WON'T BE SORRY ANYMORE
STICKS AND STONES
YOU BREAK MY BONES, I'M STANDING
STEP ON A CRACK
WON'T BREAK MY BACK, I'M STANDING
SALT ON MY NEW, I CAN'T MOVE
LAUGH WHILE I PLEA, I CAN'T GROOVE
I'M NOT YOUR BABY ANYMORE
YOU BEAT ME UP FOR FUN
I DARE NOT TELL ANYONE
OR YOU'LL BEAT ME HARDER THAN BEFORE
OH,,BRUISES ALL OVER ME
COVERED SO NO ONE CAN SEE
YOU'RE HAPPY IF I'M IN PAIN
WON'T EVEN SAY MY NAME
BUT I'M, STRONGER THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW
STICKS AND STONES
YOU BREAK MY BONES, I'M STANDING
STEP ON A CRACK, WON'T BREAK MY BACK, I'M STANDING
SALT ON MY KNEE, I CAN'T MOVE
LAUGH WHILE I PLEA, THAT'S YOUR GROOVE
I WON'T CRY WHEN THEY PUT YOU IN THE GROUND
STICKS AND STONES
STICKS AND STONES
