Lyrics

Baby, if you'll just say you'll 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
Won't you roll away the stone?
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone?
Don't you let it die
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, ‘cause we still got a chance
Baby in love and sweet romance
Roll away the stone, roll away the stone
Won't you roll away the stone?
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone?
Don't you let it die
Won't you roll away the stone?
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone?
Don't you let it die
Won't you roll away the stone?
Why be cold and so alone?
Won't you roll away the stone?
Don't you let it die
Won't you roll away the stone?
Roll away the stone
Yeah, roll away the stone?
Come on, roll away the stone?
