Sticks and stones will break my bones
But nasty words will always haunt me
You may be the bully in the china shop
But I really, really wish that you would stop
Do you do it just for laughs?
Do you do it for attention?
Do you think someone will ask
For your autograph?
I don’t think so you’re a bully
I don’t think so you’re a bully
You may be keeping stuff deep inside
You may be acting tough, but stop trying to hide
Your parents divorce, you may have been forced
To wear a disguise, to close your eyes
To hide your desire
For understanding
For understanding
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But nasty words will always haunt me
You may be the bully in the china shop
But I really, really wish that you would stop
Do you do it just for laughs?
Do you do it for attention?
Do you think someone will ask
For your autograph?
I don’t think so you’re a bully
I don’t think so you’re a bully
You won’t be popular by being mean
Right or wrong, there’s no in between
Don’t push us around, stop being a clown
I’m sick of your tricks, don’t get your kicks
From those that you hit
Try understanding
Try understanding
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But nasty words will always haunt me
You may be the bully in the china shop
But I really, really wish that you would stop
Do you do it just for laughs?
Do you do it for attention?
Do you think someone will ask
For your autograph?
I don’t think so you’re a bully
I don’t think so you’re a bully
