You can throw bricks at my window 
You can put tacks in my shoe 
You can sprinkle ground glass on my Apple Saas 
But you can't stop me from lovin' you 

You can put rocks in my pillow 
You can put sand in my stew 
You can be as aloof as the Chrysler roof 
But you can't stop me from lovin' you 

You can sneer at my devotion 
Be as mean as you can be 
Ridicule my great emotion 
But you're never gonna 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 lovin' you 




ALTERNATE LYRICS:


You can even put flies in my apple pie (1st verse)

You can be as aloof as the highest roof (2nd verse)
