 From-a one little kiss and a lotta lovin' you build a big mansion of love
 High on a hill of happiness with some-a-one that you've been dreamin' of
 You build a wall around with a lotta lovin', all around your mansion of love
 Then one day you hear a strange little sound tryin' to tear your mansion down

 Whoa oh oh oh chip, chip you tell a little lie
 Chip, chip, you make your baby cry
 Chip, chip, you cheat a little bit
 Chip, chip, you quarrel over it
 Oh oh oh one day you're gonna discover
 One little wrong leads to another
 Chip, chip, a-chippin' away, chippin' at your mansion of love

 ah-one little spark when it start to glowin' can warm a big mansion of love
 One little wrong brings on the gloom, puts a chill in-a every room

 Whoa oh oh oh chip, chip you tell a little lie
 Chip, chip, you make your baby cry
 Chip, chip, you cheat a little bit
 Chip, chip, you quarrel over it
 Oh oh oh one day you're gonna discover
 One little wrong leads to another
 Chip, chip, a-chippin' away, chippin' at your mansion of love

 Chip, chip, a-chippin' away, chippin' at your mansion of love
 Chip, chip, a-chippin' away

 FADE chippin' at your mansion of love
