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
