Sitting at my window
I was looking out at the rain
Sitting by my window
Looking out at the rain

You know something struck me, babe
Clamped on to me like a ball and chain

I said, baby
Why you wanna do these mean old things to me?
I said, baby
Why you wanna do these mean old things to me?
'Cause you know I love you, darling
And I'm sick of living in misery

You know my love for you
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know my love for you, baby
Holds me like a ball and chain
You know I don't mean you no harm
I just don't, I just don't wanna go insane
I don't want a ball and chain

Baby, yeah
Tell me, why's everything gotta happen to me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Why's everything gotta happen to me
You know my love, got a love forever
For еternity, for eternity

You know that somеthing struck me, baby
Clamped onto me like a ball and chain
