Story Behind The Song

A jaded night-club performer confesses about his string of one night stands in an overly dramatic fashion.

Lyrics

I don't know why they love it but they really do
The thrill must be the challenge trying to break through
My heart of stone, my heart is stone
I try to set them straight right from the very start
Before they go to pieces and they give their hearts that mine is
Stone, My heart of stone
'Cause every time that love has gotten a hold of me
It tears out what's inside and leaves a stone in me
And I can't be held responsible for when you're left so
Sad and lonely
I hate to be alone but it's not right
To lie with every kiss and make love through the night
With a heart that's stone, my heart is stone
Oh 'cause every time that love had gotten a hold of me
It ripped out what's inside and left a stone in me
And I can't be held accountable for when you're left so
Sad and lonely
My heart is a solid mass of rock that's frozen
Lord knows it's a lonely path in life I've chosen
Yet sometimes I feel I'm better off
It's hard to puncture wound a thing when it's not soft
I'll meet a girl I like who wants my love
I give but what I can, how can it be enough
With a heart that's stone, my heart is stone
They come in thinking they can beat me at my game
They end up leaving broken-hearted just the same
My heart is stone, my heart of stone
'Cause every time that love has gotten a hold of me
It tears out what's inside and leaves a stone in me
And I can't be held responsible for when you're left so
Sad and lonely
Every time that love had gotten a hold of me
It ripped out what's inside and left a stone in me
And I can't be held accountable for when you're alone
My heart is stone.
