You can throw bricks at my window,
You can put tacks in my shoe,
Sprinkle ground glass on my applesause,
But you can't stop me from loving you.
You can put rocks in my pillow,
You can put sand in my shoe,
You can be aloof as you crash the roof
But you can't stop me from loving you.
You can sneer at my devotion
You can seem as mean as can be,
If you'll pardon my emotion,
But that won't discourage me.
You can put lumps in my cornflakes,
Tell me my brain's good as new,
You can laugh in my face as you trump my ace,
But you can't stop me from loving you.
