Ball And Chain Lyrics


Sitting down by my window
Looking at the rain
Send a bomb in my world of night air
All around I felt itAll I could see was the rain
Something grabbed a hold of me honey
Felt to me, honey like a ball and chain
You know what I meanSay whoa honey, this can't be
Just because I got to want your love, please leave me be
Whoa honey, this can't be just because I got to need ya daddy
Please don't ya let me down now
Honey, I wanted to love yaWhoa honey, just can't be
I wonder if someone if they could tell me
Tell me why
Just because I got to want your loveHoney, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I say, I don't understand
Honey, when I wanna try and say hi
Try, try, try, try, try, try, tryHoney, when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
When everybody in the world, who needs the same lone thing

When I wanna work for your love daddy
When I wanna try for you love daddy
I don't understand, how come, your gone, manI don't understand why half the world is still crying, man
When the other half the world is still crying too, man
I mean, if you gotta care for one day, man
Say, maybe, you wanna care for 365 days, right?You ain't got it for 365 days, man
You got it for one day, man
Well, I'll tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man
Because you know, you can say
"Oh man, you can cry about the other 364"But your gonna lose that one day, man
And that's all you got
You gotta call that love, man
That's what it isIf you got it today, you don't wear it tomorrow
'Cause you don't need it
As a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train
Tomorrow never happensIt's all the same fucking day, man
So you gotta, when you wanna hold somebody
You gotta hold 'em like it's the last minute of your life
You gotta holdHoly
'Cause some day some weight
Gonna come on your shoulders babe
Ball and chain
