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 woo woo, whoa!!!
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 do,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you know it ain`t fair.
I say, whoa, whoa, honey, it ain`t fair!!!!
No, no, no, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, no, no, it ain`t fair.
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 to hurt ya,
I said I wasn`t gonna hurt you darlin`.
No, no, no, no, no.

S-s-s-s-ittin` down, sitting down, whoa,
Baby by my window, whoa, honey, felt the rain.
Something grabbed a hold of me, baby
Felt to me ... whoa ... Yeah!, Hey! all right!
I said whoa, whoa, whoa, honey, this can`t be, no this can`t,
Honey this can`t be in vain
This can`t be in vain all that you said to me baby.-
