Dave Loggins - Stones (Dig a Little Deeper) lyrics

The miner goes down into the mine
And comes out empty handed
And they send him right back down in again
And say,  "Dig a little deeper"
'Cause there's women all over this world
Just waitin' to say "I love you"
 but they got to have stones
Bright, shiny stones

And the jeweler tells a young man
He's sorry he cannot help him
"You cannot pay me with the
Holes in your empty pockets
You have to dig a little deeper"
"Mister Jeweler, you don't understand"
Said the young man
"I got a woman waitin' to say she loves me
I got to have stones bright, shiny stones"
It goes on and on and on
So if you got a woman and you want to please
Her and if you got a woman and
You want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her lovin'
Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants
You better give her stones

A young woman whispered me into
An alley one night
And she glowed in the darkness she said
"Free me from this bondage and I'll
Give you all that shines"
I said, "You'll have to dig a little deeper
'Cause there's women like you
All over this world
Whose hearts have died 'cause they lied and
Said 'I love you' for stones"
Bright, shiny stones
And still it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please
Her and if you got a woman and
You want to keep her
Well, every woman's got a weakness
So if you want her lovin'
You better give your Miss
Sweetness what she wants
You better give her stones
Precious, precious, precious stones
Precious, precious, precious, precious stones

The miner goes down into the mine
And comes out empty handed
And they send him right back down in again
And say, "Dig a little deeper"
