Ball And Chain ( In Album Motion Picture ) Lyrics

One, two!

Sitting down by my window, baby, ha ha!
Whoa, mama, honey,
looking on at the rain.
You know what I mean when it's all around you
?
Oh, sitting down by my window,
All 'round looking at the rain,
I
felt it's got to be the rain.
Somethin' grabbed a hold of me, daddy,
Felt
to me, honey like, like a ball and chain, yeah!
You know what I mean,
babe,
I say it's way too heavy now.

I say, whoa, whoa, honey, tell me
why
Does everything I always want to hold on to
Always wanna go let me
down babe whoa!!
Yeah, tell me whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, tell me why does
everything
I always pick to hold on to seems to hurt me now ?
Whoa, woo

Here you gone today,
I wanted to love you,
I wanted
to hold you till the day I die
That 's all I ever wanted, babe,
I just
wanted to hold on to you, now.

I say, whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, it ain't
fair
Now daddy, it ain't fair, now it ain't fair what you're gonna

Here you gone today, all I ever wanted to
do,
Now baby, baby, baby, I just wanted to love ya,
Honey, I wasn't going

S-s-s-s-ittin' down, sitting down, whoa,
Baby by my window, whoa,

Something grabbed a hold of me, baby
Felt to me ...

I said whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, this can't

Sometimes I got to know why, said why
Come on, tell
me why

Tell me why

me
Like a ball, daddy, and a chain.
All right!
