I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice

A little more love from you, it could have been paradise
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same, maybe we should part
You had to tie me down inside a cage of doubt
I'm sick of being kicked around so this is where I get out

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same, maybe we should part
And I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, yeah
I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Oh baby, you tried to hold me but you were slowly
Driving me insane
Oh baby

I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise

I couldn't take your pain, you couldn't take my love
So I'm gonna quit this game 'cause baby I've had enough
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same, maybe we should part
And I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, yeah
I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart
I got a ball and chain, hanging around my heart

And I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do, yeah
I'm singing, do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do
