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 to
