Ball And Chain

(album: Don't Make It Easy For Me - 1983)

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 of truth, 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

You gotta tie me down, inside a cage of doubt
I'm sick of being kicked around, this is where I get out

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
If it's all the same, baby we should part

Oo-wee baby
Ya hurt me, disturb me
Driving me insane
Oo-wee baby

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart

Got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could've been paradise

I couldn't take the pain, you couldn't take my love
So I'm gonna quit this game, baby I've had enough

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
If it's all the same, baby we should part
