Ball And Chain ( In Album Cheap Thrills ) Lyrics

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, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window,
Lookin' at the
rain, see the rain.
Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me,
And it
felt like a ball and chain.
Oh this can't be in vain
And I'm gonna tell
you one just more time, yeah, yeah!

And I say oh, whoa whoa, now
baby
This can't be, no this can't be in vain,
And I say no no no no no no
no no, whoa!
And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Now now now now now
now now now now no no not in vain
Hey, hope there is someone that could tell
me
Hon', tell me why,
Hon', tell me why love is like
Just like a
ball
Just like a ball
Baaaaaaalllll
Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy,

And a chain.
Yeah!

Goodnight and thank
you for coming and have a happy happy Easter Sunday.
