|
Well she, she's so alive |
|
She's self-survived |
|
She's so alive |
|
And I'm, I'm just her toy |
|
I'm overjoyed |
|
To be her toy |
|
She was standing on the corner, looking like a foreigner |
|
So I tried to warn her, said watch out for the businessman |
|
But she shook her head, and my face got red |
|
She turned and said that I better find another friend |
|
So how can I compete |
|
As time holds her down |
|
By her reckless feet |
|
Like a ball and chain |
|
A ball and chain |
|
She's in my veins |
|
She's in my veins |
|
I ain't the same |
|
Since I learned her name |
|
She's like a ball and chain |
|
Now I, I looked around |
|
And it's a crazy town |
|
If you look around |
|
But she, she loves the sound |
|
Of this crazy town |
|
She loves the sound |
|
Well I was at the wheel of an automobile |
|
When I thought that I could steal her away for a Sunday drive |
|
But she told me no, said she didn't want to go |
|
My heart said no, and I felt like a fool inside |
|
So how can I persuade |
|
I was born too soft to be |
|
In love this way |
|
Like a ball and chain |
|
Like a ball and chain |
|
She's in my veins |
|
She's in my veins |
|
I ain't the same |
|
Since I heard her name |
|
She's like a ball and chain |
|
A ball and chain |
|
Like a ball and chain |
|
Like a ball and chain |
|
I can't tame |
|
Her wicked game |
|
I ain't the same |
|
Since I heard her name |
|
She's like a ball and chain |
