[Verse 1] Baby, if you just say you care I'll follow you most anywhere Roll away the stone Roll away the stone And in the darkest night I'll keep you safe and all right Roll away the stone Roll away the stone
[Chorus: Ian Hunter, (Thunderthighs)] Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Why be cold and so alone? (Shalalala push push) Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Don't you let it lie
[Verse 2] No matter if fools say we can't win I know I'll fall in love again Roll away the stone Roll away the stone So sing we still got a chance Baby, in love and sweet romance Roll away the stone Roll away the stone
[Chorus: Ian Hunter, (Thunderthighs)] Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Why be cold and so alone? (Shalalala push push) Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Don't you let it lie
[Chorus: Ian Hunter, (Thunderthighs)] Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Why be cold and so alone? (Shalalala push push) Won't you roll away the stone (Shalalala push push) Don't you let it lie
[Outro: Ian Hunter, (Thunderthighs)] C'mon roll (Won't you roll away the stone) C'mon roll, yeah (Won't you roll away the stone) C'mon roll (Won't you roll away the stone) I want you to roll (Won't you roll away the stone) C'monnnnnnnnnnnnnn (Won't you roll away the stone) Yeah (Won't you roll away the stone) C'mon rollllllllllllll (Won't you roll away the stone) C'mon roll (Won't you roll away the stone) I said roll (Won't you roll away the stone) C'mon roll (Won't you roll away the stone)
