Stones

Miner goes down into the mine

And comes out empty handed

They send him right back down in again

And say dig a little deeper

'Cause there's women all over this world

Just waitin' to say I love you

But they gotta have stones

And the jeweler tells the young man

He's sorry he cannot help him

You cannot pay me with the holes in your empty pockets

You have to dig a little deeper

Mr. Jeweler you don't understand, said the young man

I gotta woman waiting to say she loves me

I got to have stones

Bright shiny stones

Still it goes on and on and on

Chorus:

If you got a woman

And you wanna please her

If you got a woman

And you wanna keep her

Well every woman's got a weakness

So if you want lovin'

You better give your miss sweetness what she wants

You better give her stones

A young woman whispered me into an alley one night

And she glowed in the darkness

She said free me from this bondage

And I'll give you all the chimes

I said you better dig a little deeper

'Cause there's women like you all over this world

Whose hearts would die 'cause they lied

And said I love you for stones

Bright shiny stones

Still it goes on and on and on

(Chorus)

Miner goes down into the mine

And comes out empty handed

They send him right back down again

And say dig a little deeper
