Ball And Chain

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Gary Osborne
Album Jump Up 1982

I got a ball and chain (= wife)
Hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame
For tearing my world apart

I got a heart so true
You got a heart of ice
A little more love from you
It could've been paradise

I got a ball and chain
Hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same
Maybe we should part
And I'm singing
I'm singing

You had to tie me down
Inside a cage of doubt
I'm sick of being kicked around
So this is where I get out

I got a ball and chain
Hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same
Maybe we should part
And I'm singing
I'm singing

Ou oui baby you tried to hold me
But you were slowly
Driving me insane
Ou oui baby

I got a ball and chain
Hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame
For tearing my world apart

I got a heart so true
You got a heart of ice
A little more love from you
It could've been paradise

I couldn't take your pain
You couldn't take my love
So I'm gonna quit this game
Cos baby I've had enough

Got a ball and chain
Hanging around my heart
And if it's all the same
Maybe we should part
And I'm singing
I'm singing

I got a ball and chain
Hanging around my heart
