Ball and Chain

I wager that the minutes are ticking by
The bone is sitting barren, I wonder why
The room is so silent, it's a deadly sort of quiet
I bet the party started in another place
I wonder if there, gettin' to first base
Crazy fears with endurance
But I deserve some re-assurance

Why do you make me feel, as if I am a bitter pill
When all I want to be is your star
And why's it always gotta be
A chore for you to be good to me
Or return tenfold, never under par
Oh oh oh oh

Tell me if you're a man that I can trust
Can I lean on you or should I just
Take it to the highway
Chalk it up as another bad day
Always give to and never take
The kind of love I've tried to make
But love is not a one way street
Don't give me half and call it complete

Why do you make me feel, as if I am a bitter pill
When all I want to be, is your star
And why's it always gotta be
A chore for you to be good to me
Or return tenfold, never under par

And I only can take so much strain
A feeling like a ball and chain
When all I want to be is your star
Why can't we live in harmony
Give each other our love for free
Or return tenfold, never under par

Ooh... ah...
Ooh... ah...
