Chip Away (The Stone) Songtext
von Humble Pie

Well, you act like a prima donna, 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.
