Stones (Dig A Little Deeper)

(album: Stones - 1980)

The miner goes down into the mine
And comes out empty-handed
They send him right back down in again
And say, "Dig a little deeper"
'Cause there's women all over this world
Just waiting to say "I love you", but they got to have stones
Bright, shiny stones

And the jeweler tells a young man
He's sorry he cannot help him
"You cannot pay me with the holes in your empty pockets
You'll have to dig a little deeper"
"But Mister Jeweler, you don't understand", said the young man
"I got a woman waiting to say she loves me
I got to have stones
Bright, shiny stones"
And it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her
And if you got a woman and you want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her loving
Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants
You better give her stones

A young woman whispered me into an alley one night
And she glowed in the darkness
She said, "Free me from this bondage and I'll give you all that shines"
I said, "You'll have to dig a little deeper
'Cause there's women like you all over this world
Whose hearts have died 'cause they've lied and said 'I love you' for stones"
Bright, shiny stones
Still it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her
And if you got a woman and you want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her loving
Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants
You better give her stones

Still it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her
And if you got a woman and you want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her loving
Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants
You better give her stones

So if you got a woman and you want to please her
And if you got a woman and you want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her loving
Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants
Give her what she wants, better stones
Bright and shiny stones

So if you got a woman
