You act like a prima donna

Playing so hard to get

Sitting so cool and nonchalant

Dragging on a cigarette



You keep a wall all around you

And I'll get through some day

And I want your love babe, if push comes to shove

Gonna chip that wall away



Chip away

Chip away the stone

And I won't stop until your love is 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 the stone

And I won't stop until your love is 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 the stone

Honey, I won't stop until your love is my very own



Chip away

That's what I'm gonna do

Sweet little mamama, I wanna get next to you

Yes I do, yes I do



Chip away

Chip away at the stone

Chip away

Chip away at the stone



I won't stop, I won't stop

I won't stop, I won't stop

I won't stop, I won't stop



I won't stop, I won't stop

I won't stop, I won't stop

I won't stop, I won't stop



Chip it

I'm gonna nip it

All night long
