Ball And Chain ( In Album Cheap Thrills )

Yeah! Alright!

Sittin' down by my window,

Honey, lookin' out at the rain.

Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,

Baby, lookin' out at the rain.

Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,

And it felt just like a ball and chain.

Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,

Honey, just dragging me down.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,

Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong ?

Yeah it all goes wrong, yeah.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,

Why does every thing, every thing.

Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,

Honey, I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,

Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love's got a hold on me, baby,

Feels just like a ball and chain.

Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah,

Feels like a ball and chain.

I hope there's someone out there who could tell me

Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.

Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why,

Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,

When I need to know why, c'mon tell me why, hey hey hey,

Here you've gone today,

I wanted to love you and hold you

Till the day I die.

I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey

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

I see what you're doin' to me and you know it ain't fair.

And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby

It ain't fair, now, now, now, what you do

I said hon' it ain't fair what, hon' it ain't fair what you do.

Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do

Was to love you

Honey an' I think there can be nothing wrong with that,

Only it ain't wrong, no, no, no, no, no.

Sittin' down by my window,

Lookin' at the rain.

Lord,
