Big Brother and the Holding Company - Ball & Chain lyrics
Sitting down by my window, oh oh
Looking at the rain, yeah
Send a bomb in my world of night air
All around I felt it
All I could see was the rain
Something grabbed a hold of me, honey
Felt to me, honey, like another a ball and chain
Yeah, hey, give it to me
It's way too heavy for you, you can't hold it no more
Say whoa oh whoa oh oh, honey, this can't be
Just because I got to want your love, please leave me be
Whoa, please please
Whoa oh whoa oh oh, honey, this can't be
Just because I got to need you, daddy
Please, don't you let me down now
Please, yeah
????????
When I wanted to love you
I wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day I die
Yes I did, yes I did, yeah, hey, hey, alright
Said whoa oh whoa oh oh, honey, just can't be
Not anything I ever wanted from you daddy
Tell me now now now now now
I said whoa oh whoa oh oh, honey, just can't be
No no no no no no no ....
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wonder if someone, if they could tell me
Tell me why
Just because I got to want your love
Honey, just because I got to need, need, need your love
I say, I don't understand
Honey, when I wanna try and say hi
Try, try, try, try, try, try, try
Honey, when everybody in the world wants the same damn thingBig Brother and the Holding Company - Ball & Chain - http://motolyrics.com/big-brother-and-the-holding-company/ball-and-chain-lyrics.html
When everybody in the world, who needs the same lone thing
When I wanna work for your love daddy
When I wanna try for your love daddy
I don't understand, how come, you're gone
I don't understand why half the world is still crying
When the other half o' the world is still crying too, man
I can't get it together
I mean, if you gotta care for one day, man
I do mean, if you say
Say, maybe, you wanna care for 365 days, right?
You ain't got it for 365 days
You got it for one day, man
Well, I'll tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man
Because you know, you can say, oh man
You can cry about the other 364, man
But you gonna lose that one day, man
And that's all you got
You gotta call that love, man?
That's what it is, man
If you got it today, you don't wear it tomorrow, man
Cause you don't need it
Cause it's a matter of fact, as we discovered on the train
Tomorrow never happens, man
It's all the same fucking day, man
So you gotta, when you wanna hold somebody
You gotta hold 'em like it's the last minute in your life
You gotta hold - hold - hold
Hold 'em - 'cause some day some weight
Gonna come on your shoulders, babe
It's gonna feel too heavy
It's got a weight on ya
It's gonna feel just like a ball - ball - oh
Oh daddy, and a chain
