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

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

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, fou

I've been waiting for times to get better,

And I can't take it no more

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

Time, I would love for time to be on our side

But I know that this love affair, Is all over now

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
