Like A Ball and Chain

She
She's so alive
She's self-survived
She's so alive

And I'm, I'm just her toy
I'm overjoyed
To be her toy

She was standing on the corner, looking like a foreigner
So I tried to warn her, said watch out for the businessman
But she shook her head, and my face got red
She turned and said that I better find another friend

So how can I compete?
As time holds her down
By her reckless feet

Like a ball and chain
A ball and chain
She's in my veins
She's in my veins
I ain't the same
Since I learned her name
She's like a ball and chain

I
I looked around
And it's a crazy town
If you look around

But she
She loves the sound
Of this crazy town
She loves the sound

Well, I was at the wheel of an automobile
When I thought that I could steal her away for a Sunday drive
But she told me no, said she didn't want to go
My heart sank low, and I felt like a fool inside

So how can I persuade?
I was born too soft to be in
Love this way

Like a ball and chain
A ball and chain
She's in my veins, man
She's in my veins
I ain't the same
Since I learnt her name
She's like a ball and chain
Like a ball and chain

Like a ball and chain
Like a ball and chain
I can't tame
Her wicked game
I ain't the same
Since I heard her name
She's like a ball and chain
A ball and chain

That's right
Oh, yeah
