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
