Ball And Chain ( In Album Cheaper Thrills )

Sittin' down by my window,

Just lookin' out at the rain, at the rain

I said i'm sittin' down by my window,

Just lookin' out at the rain.

You know somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,

Felt just like a ball and chain.



And i say, oh, oh, oh, hon',

Why does every thing go wrong ?

It all goes wrong.

And i say, oh, now tell me why,

Does every thing go wrong, all wrong.

Say, here you gone today, an' i wanted to love you

For so long.



Love's got a hold on me, baby,

Feels just like a ball and chain, hmm hmm hmm.

Oh, love's got a hold on me, baby,

Feels just like a ball and chain.

And i don't know why the man i'm lovin'

Wanna leave me in so much pain.



And i say, oh oh oh, hon', tell me why,

Tell me why, tell me why, oh tell me why, why, why.

And i say, oh, honey why, why, oh why, tell me why.

I thought our love would last

Honey, gonna last, last

Till the day i die.



And i say oh, whoa, whoa, hon'

It ain't fair, it ain't fair what you can do,

What you can do, lord.

And i say oh whoa,

Lord, it ain't fair, it ain't fair what you can do, lord, you can do.

Oh suddenly you broke my heart

Oh when i was givin' my love to you.



Sittin' down by my window,

Just lookin' out at the rain.

I said i'm sittin' down by my window,

Just lookin' out at the rain.

Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,

Felt just like a ball and chain.



And i say oh, hon this can't be

This can't be all in vain, no, no, no.

And i say whoa, whoa, this can't be,

Honey, it can't be all in vain,

Hope there is someone that could tell me

Hon', tell me why love is like

A ball and chain.
