Stones (Dig a Little Deeper) - Dan Seals

The miner goes down into the mine

And comes out empty-handed

They send him right back down in again

And say, «Dig a little deeper»

'Cause there’s women all over this world

Just waiting to say «I love you», but they got to have stones

Bright, shiny stones

And the jeweler tells a young man

He’s sorry he cannot help him

«You cannot pay me with the holes in your empty pockets

You’ll have to dig a little deeper»

«But Mister Jeweler, you don’t understand», said the young man

«I got a woman waiting to say she loves me

I got to have stones

Bright, shiny stones»

And it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her

And if you got a woman and you want to keep her

Well, every woman’s got a weakness

So if you want her lovin'

Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants

You better give her stones

A young woman whispered me into an alley one night

And she glowed in the darkness

She said, «Free me from this bondage and I’ll give you all that shines»

I said, «You'll have to dig a little deeper

'Cause there’s women like you all over this world

Whose hearts have died 'cause they’ve lied and said 'I love you' for stones»

Bright, shiny stones

Still it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her

And if you got a woman and you want to keep her

Well, every woman’s got a weakness

So if you want her lovin'

Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants

You better give her stones

Still it goes on and on and on

So if you got a woman and you want to please her

And if you got a woman and you want to keep her

Well, every woman’s got a weakness

So if you want her lovin'

Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants

You better give her stones

So if you got a woman and you want to please her

And if you got a woman and you want to keep her

Well, every woman’s got a weakness

So if you want her lovin'

Then give your Miss Sweetness what she wants

Give her what she wants, better stones

Bright and shiny stones

So if you got a woman
