Ball and Chain Lyrics

Ball & chain around my neck
I work so hard I'm sinking deeper in debt
Ball & chain dragging me down
You're spending my money all over town
I try to give you the best that I can
Why do I love a run-around man
You don't give me nothing
Not even your name
Love ain't nothin' but a ball & chain

Ball & chain black and blue
You're hurting me and I'm loving you
Ball & chain dragging on me
Ball & chain I'll never be free
You treat me so bad, you got no respect
Everyone tells me it's as bad as love gets
I'm tired and I'm broke and down and ashamed
Love ain't nothin' but a ball & chain

Ball & chain around my heart
You don't care that I'm falling apart
Ball & chain weighing on me
Ball & chain of misery
I'm slaving all day to make you feel good
Oh baby I'd love you more if I could
But you only wanna see me in pain
Love ain't nothin' but a ball & chain

I got the ball & chain blues
