Chip Away The Stone

(album: Go For The Throat - 1981)

Well, you act like a prima donna, playing so hard to get
Looking so cool and nonchalant [?] dragging on a cigarette
Well, you keep a wall all around you, I'll get through some day
I want your love if push comes to shove, gonna chip that wall away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
'Cause I ain't gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

You stand like a marble statue, trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress while the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble if you strike it night and day
If hammer I must I'm gonna get through your crust, gonna chip that stone away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
'Cause I ain't gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

You stand like a marble statue, trying to look so hard
All decked out in your antique dress while the boys all promenade
Even a rock will crumble if you strike it night and day
If hammer I must I'm gonna get through your crust, gonna chip that stone away.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
'Cause I ain't gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
'Cause I ain't gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.

Chip away, chip away at the stone
'Cause I ain't gonna stop till your love it my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you.
