[Verse 1]
The other side of midnight
Before the break of day
Through the smoke and mirrors
I saw you look my way
Eyes as sharp as diamonds
Cutting through the pack
Then you stood before me
Like an angel dressed in black
Was it just imagination
Playing tricks on my mind?
'Cause when I lit your cigarette
My heart stopped keeping time
When you asked if I could name
The seven deadly sins
Something deep inside said I'm a fool
To let you in

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Why'd you leave me all alone?

[Chorus]
Now, I walk the street at midnight
Hurting to the bone
And when I find you, baby
I will carve my name
In your heart of stone
Your heart of stone
Your heart of stone

[Verse 2]
I've never known a woman
Who loves the way you do
Like the spider and the fly
It's all a game to you
Just a lamb to the slaughter
Another sacrifice
Everything you gave to me
You made me pay the price

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Why'd you leave me all alone?

[Chorus]
Now, I walk the street at midnight
Hurting to the bone
And when I find you, baby
I will carve my name
In your heart of stone
Your heart of stone
Your heart of stone

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Now, I walk the street at midnight
Hurting to the bone
And when I find you, baby
I will carve my name
In your heart of stone
Your heart of stone
Your heart of stone

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
The other side of midnight
Before the break of day
Walking down a lonely street
Nothing left to say
Now my time is over
No way of turning back
I'm looking for a woman
An angel dressed in black

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, baby
Why'd you leave me all alone?

[Chorus]
Now, I walk the street at midnight
Hurting to the bone
And when I find you, baby
I will carve my name
In your heart of stone

[Outro]
Heart of stone
Heart of stone
Heart of stone
Heart of stone
Heart of stone

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
