[Verse 1]
You act like a prima donna
Playin' so hard to get
Sittin' so cool and nonchalant
Draggin' on a cigarette
You keep a wall all around you
I'll get through some day
I want your love, babe, but push come to shove
Gonna chip that wall away
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away at the stone
And 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Chip away, chip away at the stone
And 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
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
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
Yes, I do, yes, I do
[Outro]
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 (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
Chip Away the Stone was written by Richard Supa.
Tom Hamilton told Rolling Stone in 2019:
That’s a song written by a guy named Richie Supa, who was a good friend of the band. It’s kind of a “Brown Sugar” kind of song. A lot of people in the audience don’t know it. I don’t think it’s ever been on a regular Aerosmith album.
