Roll Away the Stone Lyrics
[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
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
[Bridge: Ian Hunter, (Lynsey De Paul)]

Are you gonna be there?
(Well, I got my invite)
Gonna bring your records?
(Ooh, will do)

[Chorus: Ian Hunter, (Thunderthighs)]
Won't you roll away the stone

(Shalalala push push)
Don't you let it lie
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
