[Verse 1]
You act like a prima donna
Playin' so hard to get
Sittin' so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' on a cigarette
You keep a wall all around you
I'll get through some day
I want your love, babe, but push come to shove
Gonna chip that wall away

[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away at 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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away at 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

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away at the stone
I won't stop 'til your love is my very own
Chip away, that's what I'm gonna do
Sweet little mama, I wanna get next to you
Yes, I do, yes, I do

[Outro]
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)
Chip it, I'm gonna nip it all night long
