Sticks and stones can really hurt your bones
Words can tear down a heart and home
And you'll never really have to live alone
If you say it, say it in love
If you say it, say it in love
Chorus:
Hug 'em, hug 'em, ooh, don't bug 'em
Hug 'em, hug 'em even though you want to slug 'em
Hug 'em, hug 'em, ooo, whee
Ooo, whee, you gotta love 'em
You gotta love 'em
Well, I've had enough of this fighting stuff
'Cause on the inside, I'm not very tough
And words can hurt, they can be too rough
If you say it, say it in love
If you say it, say it in love
(Repeat Chorus)
Sometimes he keeps picking on me
He says things he can't really mean
Well in my heart I know one thing
If you say it, say it in love
If you say it, say it in love
