Ball & Chain Lyrics

I Got A Ball And Chain
Hanging Around My Heart
You Were The One To Blame
For Tearing My World Apart
I Got A Heart So True,
You Got A Heart Of Ice
A Little More Love From You,
It Could Have Been Paradise

I Got A Ball And Chain
Hanging Around My Heart
And If It’s All The Same
Maybe We Should Part
And I’m Singing Do Do Do
I’m Singing Do Do Do

You Had To Tie Me Down
Inside A Cage Of Doubt
I’m Sick Of Being Kicked
Around So This Is
Where I Get Out

Oh Oui Baby You Tried To
Hold Me But You Were Slowly
Driving Me Insane
Oh Oui Baby

I Got A Ball And Chain
Hanging Around My Heart
You Were The One To Blame
For Tearing My World Apart
I Got A Heart So True,
You Got A Heart Of Ice
A Little More Love From You,
It Could Have Been Paradise

I Couldn’t Take Your Pain,
You Couldn’t Take My Love
So I’m Gonna Quit This Game
’cause Baby I’ve Had Enough
