Sticks and Stones

What would you say if I told you I was sorry
And that I've come to realize
Life means nothing without you
Would you take my hand
Would you forgive this man
For ever doubting your love is true
And could you find it in your heart
To let me try and make it up to you

Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt I've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or I'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool

Darlin' from now on
I'll be proud when other men notice you
Instead of gettin' mean and loud
Like I used to do
Find some mercy in your heart
And we'll make another start
At the love that we once knew
I won't hurt you anymore
I'm gonna trust you now and never question you

Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt I've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or I'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool

I'm today's lonely fool
