Please don't call me names......Please don't call me names
Don't break the rules...Just act your age
Don't say those words... it's really so imature
You gotta zip it up......You gotta button your lip
You need to use your head before you open up your mouth
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
but names will always hurt me
so please don't call me names
If you take it back...then I won't get mad
I won't tell on you... and keep you out of trouble
But if you can't be nice...it makes me feel so bad
Watch out for what you say... the insults that you throw my way
they hurt my pride...and make me cry
don't speak to me so rudely
please don't call me names
Don't call me names
( I know you are but what am I ) ( I know you are but what am I )
Don't call me names
( I know you are but what am I ) ( I know you are but what am I )
Shut your trap...Put a lid on it now
You 'oughta close your mouth and start acting like you want to take it back somehow
Sticks and stones won't break my bones
but names will always hurt me
so please don't call me names
please don't call me names
Don't call me names
( I know you are but what am I ) ( I know you are but what am I )
Don't call me names
( I know you are but what am I ) ( I know you are but what am I )
