Ball and Chain Lyrics by Duran Duran
Early morning
As the day is dawning
You’re street gutter crawling
When the sun comes up
Baby crying
Says today she’s dying
But she’s always lying
And that’s a ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You’re in the ball’n’chain gang
Coz you’re the ball’n’chain man
Bruises for breakfast
Ain’t nobody’s business
But pain’s a lonely mistress
And you can’t give up (and that’s a ball’n’chain)
Flame burning
Money that you’re earning
And you will be returning
With a ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You’re in the ball’n’chain gang
Coz you’re the ball’n’chain man
Why do you love me
When you don’t need me
Why do you want me all of the time?
In my whole life, I didn’t get no peacetime
And I don’t care if I live or die
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the love that pain
You got the ball’n’chain
And you’re the one to blame
You got the ball’n’chain
You’re the one to blame
You got the love that pain
You got the ball’n’chain
You got the ball’n’chain
