Big Brother & The Holding Company - Ball & Chain lyrics
rate meSittin down by my window,<br />
Honey, lookin out at the rain.<br />
Oh, lord, lord, sittin down by my window,<br />
Baby, lookin out at the rain.<br />
Somethin came along, grabbed a hold of me, honey,<br />
And it felt just like a ball and chain.<br />
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like,<br />
Honey, just dragging me down.<br />
<br />
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon, tell me why,<br />
Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on to go wrong ? <br />
Yeah it goes wrong, yeah.<br />
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,<br />
Does every thing, every thing.<br />
Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,<br />
I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,<br />
Yeah! alright! hey!<br />
<br />
Loves got a hold on me, baby,<br />
Feels like a ball and chain.<br />
Now, loves just draggin me down, baby,<br />
Feels like a ball and chain.<br />
I hope there's someone out there who could tell me<br />
Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain.<br />
Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!<br />
<br />
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon, tell me why,<br />
Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah.<br />
And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,<br />
When I need to know why, cmon tell me why, hey hey hey,<br />
Here youve gone today,<br />
I wanted to love you and hold you<br />
Till the day I die.<br />
I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!<br />
<br />
And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey<br />
It aint fair, daddy it aint fair what you do,<br />
I see what you're doin to me and you know it aint fair.<br />
And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby<br />
It aint fair, now, now, now, what you do<br />
I said hon it aint fair what, hon it aint fair what you do.<br />
Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do<br />
Was to love you<br />
Honey you can still hear me rock and roll the best,<br />
Only it aint roll, no, no, no, no, no.<br />
<br />
Sittin down by my window,<br />
Lookin out at the rain.<br />
Lord, lord, lord, sittin down by my window,<br />
Lookin out at the rain, see the rain.<br />
Somethin came along, grabbed a hold of me,<br />
And it felt like a ball and chain.<br />
Oh this can't be in vain<br />
And Im gonna tell you one more time, yeah, yeah!<br />
