Take me by the hand
Tell me I’m your man
Can’t you see you’re killing me?
You don’t understand that I’m just a man

And I’m drowning in your love it seems
Your kisses pass me by

You’re just a stoned heart
Stone heart
And now you’re gonna pay
Stone heart
Stone heart
Now you’re gonna see

I can’t change the time
Only you can find who you really wanna be
Cause I’m drowning in your love it seems
Your kisses pass me by

You’re just a stoned heart
You threw my love away
Stone heart
Stone heart
But now you’re gonna see
Stone heart
You’re just a stone heart
Stone heart
You’re just a stone heart
Stone heart
