Something that you said just stuck in my throat
Made me fall apart and wrythe in pain
Could it be the one I love could hate me so
And will I find the love I lost again

All in a day
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh

Sticks and stones will break my bones but now I know
Your words go so much deeper down inside
Now every dream we ever had has turned to stone
You'll never know the rivers that I cried

All in a day
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh

All in a day yeah
And the cruel things we say
Love runs away
If you don't
Treat her gently, oh
