Sitting down by my window
Looking at
the rain
Send a bomb in my world of night air
All around I felt it
All
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 mean
Say whoah...honey, this
can't be
Just because I got to want your love, please...leave me
be
Whoah...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
ya

Whoah...honey, just can't be
I wonder if someone...if they could
tell me
Tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, 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, try...
Honey, 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, man
I 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 is.
If 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 happens.
It'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
hold.........................
Holy...Cause some day some weight gonna come
on your shoulders babe
Ball
and Chain.
