Humble Pie - Chip Away (The Stone) lyrics

Well, you act like a primadonna
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
