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
