Ball & Chain
So far away
And so long ago
You came to my life
I opened the door
With all that's been said
All that's been done
I see who you are
What you've become
But one thing has changed
One thing is clear
The world's not the same
Like having you near
You had your fun
One thing I can tell you
This can't go much further
Now, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
One thing leads another
It's just like you to make a show
I'm not your ball and chain
You've had your fun
The world's is not your oyster
Not God's gift to mankind
No, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
It's all up to you
It's what you say that you do
You're no good
So much has changed
I'm not the same
That gullible boy
You still tried to tame
But maybe a fool
The fool loving you
If love conquers all
It's long overdue
But one thing has changed
One thing is clear
The world's not the same
Like having you near
You had your fun
One thing I can tell you
This can't go much further
Now, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
One thing leads another
It's just like you to make a show
I'm not your ball and chain
You've had your fun
The world's is not your oyster
Not God's gift to mankind
No, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
It's all up to you
It's what you say that you do
You're no good
One thing I can tell you
This can't go much further
Now, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
One thing leads another
It's just like you to make a show
I'm not your ball and chain
You've had your fun
The world's is not your oyster
Not God's gift to mankind
No, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
It's all up to you
It's what you say that you do
You're no good
And so long ago
You came to my life
I opened the door
With all that's been said
All that's been done
I see who you are
What you've become
But one thing has changed
One thing is clear
The world's not the same
Like having you near
You had your fun
One thing I can tell you
This can't go much further
Now, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
One thing leads another
It's just like you to make a show
I'm not your ball and chain
You've had your fun
The world's is not your oyster
Not God's gift to mankind
No, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
It's all up to you
It's what you say that you do
You're no good
So much has changed

No, just take your ball and go
You've had your fun
It's all up to you
It's what you say that you do
You're no good
