You can, throw stones
But you know what they say about breaking bones
I may bruise too
But your childish games
Come right back to you
You may, have your words
But words ain’t nothing unless you’re heard
And I ain’t hearing you
CHORUS:
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
You may tag me
But I ain’t playin’ that game
So I’m not gonna freeze
I may get hit
But there’s no sidelines
So I’m not gonna sit
You can throw your ball
I may dodge but I ain’t gonna fall
I ain’t gonna stop are you?
CHORUS
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
You can push and pull me
Throw your words right at me
You can push and pull me
Throw your words right at me
You can push and pull me
Throw your words right at me
You can push and pull me
Throw your words right at me
I may be black and blue
But I’ll stand against you
Break me down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
Break me down
Break me down
I won’t stay down
