Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why won't they let us be
Bricks and stones may break my bones
But talk don't bother me
People talkin' tryin' to break us up
When they know that I love you so
So I don't care what the people may say
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(My heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us up, yeah
Scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame
I've been abused
(I've been abused)
In my heart
(My heart's been torn)
I've been accused
(I've been accused)
I've been 'buked
(I've been 'buked and I've been stung)
People talkin' tryin' to break us, yup
And they scandlizin' my name
They'll say anything just to make me feel bad
Yes anything to make me shame
Yes I know
(Oh, yes I know)
Yes I know it
(Oh, yes I know)
And you know it, too
(Oh, yes I know)
Don't you know it, too
(Oh, yes I know)
Ohhhhh, don't you know it too
In Ray Charles' "Sticks and Stones," the singer is expressing how people can say anything they want about him and his loved one, but their words will not break them apart. He says that although the people's talk may be hurtful, it does not bother him. The phrase "sticks and stones may break my bones, but talk don't bother me" is used to emphasize how words cannot physically harm a person, but they can still cause emotional distress. The lyrics also talk about how the singer has been abused, accused, and 'buked (rebuked) because of his relationship with this person, but he will not let anything come between them.
The song highlights the idea of how people can say and do anything to break others apart, but those who truly love each other will remain together despite difficult circumstances. It also brings up issues of rumor-spreading and gossip, and how damaging it can be to individuals and relationships.
