Ball & Chain

I've been on this roller coaster just too many times

And always it seems like

The blind keep on leading the blind

Tried to get them on the 'phone

Tried to find my way back home

Tned and failed, and tried and failed, again



But baby i don't want you 'cos you look so good

I don't want you 'cos i know i should

I don't want you to come in f rom the rain

I want you to be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball and chain



Ah just lately i've been roaming from town to town

I've been setting them up, setting them up

And i've been knocking them down



I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream

Make things always better than they seem

And i stop and start, and stop and start

And stop and start again



Baby i don't want you for your money

I don't want you 'cos i love you honey

I don't want you to ease this memory pain

No, i want you to be my ball and chain

Yes, i want you to be my, be my ball and chain



When i see you in the garden once again

Baby you'll be standing in the summer rain

Laugh and cry and say what it's all about

You can even jump and shout

And you'll smile and say how are you again

I don't want you 'cos i'm so blue

I don't want you 'cos you know what to do

I don't want you because all my love seems in vain



I want you to be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball and chain

Oh, be my ball and chain

Be my ball and chain, be my ball and chain

Oh, be my ball and chain

I want you.....ball and chain, etc.
