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
I'll get through some day
I want your love, baby
Push, don't shove
Gonna chip that stone away

Chip away
Chip away at the stone
I won't stop until 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 away
Chip away at the stone
I won't stop until your love is 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
Honey, I won't stop until your love is my very own
Chip away
That's what I'm wanna do
Sweet little mama
I wanna get next to you

Yes I do, yes I do

Chip away, chip away, at the stone
Chip away, chip away, at the stone

I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop
I won't stop

Chip it
I'm gonna nip it, all night long

Aerosmith is an American rock band, sometimes referred to as "The Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band." Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has come to also incorporate elements of pop,heavy metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. The band was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. Guitarist Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band began developing a following in Boston. more »
