I just want to be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tie me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away
Holding on like a ball and chain
(Boy, be my ball and chain
Yo it's gotta be right)
I never wanted to stay
In one place too long
On no, not me, I didn't want to be
A victim of that fatal touch
When you want someone too much - but
You, you'll be the end of me
And I don't want to run anymore
(( chorus ))
I just want to be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tie me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away
Holding on like a ball and chain
I tried my best to avoid
Making promises
Oh no, not me, I didn't want to
Be a prisoner of that tender trap
When there's no turning back - but
You, you got me on my knees
And I won't be afraid anymore
(( chorus ))
(( rap ))
Uh, what...
I know it's been some time
Confine - to be alone
But now I know I've found the one
It's gotta be this love jones
You know that I get open when you rub on my back
The goosebumps and the chills must be proof of that
'Cause I'm feelin'
When you dealin'
All the knowledge you've got
About makin' it good
When you're touchin' my spots
I got - lots of luvin' when we bubblin' right
I look forward to the time when the day turns night
Yo I say meet at the crib at a quarter to nine
And at that time what do I find?
(And I won't be afraid anymore)
The sight of you be wantin' me
Just hauntin' my fight
Boy, be my ball and chain
Yo it's gotta be right
I can't believe I'm holding on...
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tie me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away
Holding on like a ball and chain
(Boy, be my ball and chain
Yo it's gotta be right)
I never wanted to stay
In one place too long
On no, not me, I didn't want to be
