Life and bricks and stones and sticks
They break our bones, we get our kicks
But all the words that one could say
Will hurt the most to you in every way
I have seen how much it hurts
And I know that love can hurt the worst
But all the words that one could say
Will hurt the most to you in every way
And I give love cuz love is what I've found
It brings a smile to my face when I am feeling down
So if you have something to say that your mother won't approve
Hold your tongue and turn yourself around, you've everything to lose
Fight yourself and that mask you wear
Tonight break free, take flight, you've won
But all the words that one could say
Will hurt the most to you in every way
And I give love cuz love is what I've found
It brings a smile to my face when I am feeling down
So if you have something to say that your mother won't approve
Hold your tongue and turn yourself around, you've everything to lose
Just bring it one more time, you shout insults at me
Now I am not around, you shout insults at nothing
All the words that you used to say
Can't touch my optimism anyway
And I give love cuz love is what I've found
It brings a smile to my face when I am feeling down
So if you have something to say that your mother won't approve
Hold your tongue and turn yourself around, you've nothing left to lose
Cuz in this life we get one chance to give it all we've got
So close one eye and take good aim, this is your only shot
I'm on my knees and praying hard that we all make the mark
Love can answer any question all it needs is just one spark
