You can try to please me

But it won't be easy

Stone walls surround me

I'm surprised you even found me

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

But you can try

Whatever you do, girl

You know you can't get through, girl

You bring me down

Hang me up

Or even hang around

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

But you can try

I know you think you can get me

I'm only flesh and bone

But you may as well forget me

Because my heart is made of stone

You better leave me alone . . . yeah

You can try to please me

But it won't be easy

Stone walls surround me

I'm surprised you even found me

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

And you don't stand an outside chance

But you can try
