LYRICS

Hearts made of stone

Will never break

For the love you have for them

They just won't take

You can ask them please

Please, please, please break

And all of your love

Is there to take

Yes, hearts of stone

Will cause you pain

Although you love them

They'll stop you just the same

You can ask them please

Please please please break

And all of your love

Is there to take

But they'll say no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Everybody knows

I thought you knew

Hearts made of stone

Yes, hearts of stone

Will cause you pain

Although you love them

They'll stop you just the same

You can ask them please

Please, please, please break

And all of your love

Is there to take

Hearts made of stone

Will never break

For the love you have for them

They just won't take

You can ask them please

Please, please, please break

And all of your love

Is there to take

But they'll say no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Everybody knows

I thought you knew

Hearts made of stone
