[Verse 1]
Here I am standing in the mirror, looking in my eyes
Trying not to fool myself, and realize
Times are getting harder for us to get along
Everything about this love is all going wrong
You keep on telling me to do this, do that
And I need to change my ways
But I think that maybe the price of this love
Is too high to pay
[Chorus]
Ball and chain
Is the feeling that I am feeling tonight
When love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
[Verse 2]
I keep on living in confusion, wondering where I am at
Trying to figure out if I should do this thing or that
I can't see the future, and I can't change the past
But I'm feeling that this love of ours just ain't gonna last
I've been down one time, two times, three times, four
I've been waiting for times to get better
And I can't take it no more
[Chorus]
Ball and chain
That's the feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
[Bridge]
Time, I would love for time to be on our side
But I know that this love affair, is all over now
[Outro]
Ball and chain
It's a feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
This love's a, ball and chain
It's a feeling that I am feeling inside
When love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
Here I am standing in the mirror, looking in my eyes
Trying not to fool myself, and realize
Times are getting harder for us to get along
Everything about this love is all going wrong
You keep on telling me to do this, do that
And I need to change my ways
But I think that maybe the price of this love
Is too high to pay
[Chorus]
Ball and chain
Is the feeling that I am feeling tonight
When love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
[Verse 2]
I keep on living in confusion, wondering where I am at
Trying to figure out if I should do this thing or that
I can't see the future, and I can't change the past
But I'm feeling that this love of ours just ain't gonna last
I've been down one time, two times, three times, four
I've been waiting for times to get better
And I can't take it no more
[Chorus]
Ball and chain
That's the feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right

But I know that this love affair, is all over now
[Outro]
Ball and chain
It's a feeling that I am feeling tonight
This love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
This love's a, ball and chain
It's a feeling that I am feeling inside
When love's a, ball and chain
It don't matter who's wrong or right
