Permanent Damage

by Suzanne Fellini

on Suzanne Fellini (1980)

You think you can say anything that you want
You can say anything that you want
You can say anything if you say
I didn't mean it; I didn't mean it
It's mean when you say it, baby
How can you say it, baby
And it won't go away
No matter what you say to me, baby

Sticks and stones break my bones
Words tear me apart
Sticks and stones break my bones
But your words are doing permanent damage
Permanent damage
Permanent damage, permanent damage
Damage to my heart

You think you can scream anything in my face
You can scream anything in my face
You can scream anything if you scream
I didn't mean it; I didn't mean it
It's mean when you scream it, baby
How can you scream it, baby
And it won't go away
No matter what you say to me, baby

Sticks and stones break my bones
Words tear me apart
Sticks and stones break my bones
But your words are doing permanent damage
Permanent damage
Permanent damage, permanent damage
Damage to my heart

Can't you see your words have weight
They don't evaporate
They're badly bruising
You'd better stop accusing
You're gonna wind up losing

Can't you see you're doing damage
Permanent damage
Permanent damage, permanent damage
