Ball And Chain

(Album: Paul Young - 1997)

Oh the room goes quiet at the mention of her name
As her face comes back to haunt you once again
And the rumour's going 'round she's with another guy
Don't worry, all of the damage is done
No reason to tell her 'Get outta here'
She's in a party of one
And one is such an unhappy number
[Chorus:]
I wonder why she came
Everywhere there's thunder
Sure you're gonna find some rain
I wonder why you play the game
Oh that spell you're under
Maybe she's your ball and chain
All I see is a girl who's having to pretend
And I'd tell her 'have a heart'
If she had a heart to mend
Don't worry, all of the damage is done
No reason to tell her "Get outta here"
She's in a party of one
And one is such an unhappy number
[Chorus]
Don't worry, poor little rich girl have fun
Her jealousy fears you're the stronger one
Maybe tomorrow won't come
And one is such an unlucky number
I wonder why she came
Everywhere there's thunder
Sure you're gonna find some rain
I wonder why you play the game
Oh that spell you're under
Maybe she's your ball and chain
