Well, you act like a primadonna
Playin' so hard to get
Lookin’ so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' 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, tryin' 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, tryin' 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
