You act like a prima donna
playing so hard to get
sittin' so cool and nonchalant
draggin' on a cigarette

you keep a wall all around ya
'n i'll get through some day
'n i want your love babe, if push comes to shove
gonna chip that wall away

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

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 it, i'm gonna nip it, all night long
