Finale
Christopher L. Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's been so many girls that I've known
I've made so many cry, and still I wonder why
Here comes a little girl, I see her walking down the street
She's all by herself, I try and knock her off her feet

But she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, this heart of stone
What's different about her I don't really know
No matter how I try, I just can't make her cry

'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, no, this heart of stone

Don't keep on looking that same old way
If you try acting sad, you'll only make me glad
Better listen little girl, if you going walking down the street
I ain't got no love, I ain't the kind to meet

'Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone, oh no, no, you'll never break this heart of stone darling

No no this heart of stone
You'll never break it darling
You won't break this heart of stone oh no no no
You better go, you better go home




'Cause you'll, you'll never break this heart of stone
You better, you better drive on home
