Van Morrison - Ball & Chain Lyrics

Genre: Rock

Send "Ball & Chain" Ringtone to your Cell

Songwriters: Van Morrison

I've been on this roller coaster
Just too many times
And always it seems like the blind
Keep on leading the blind

Tried to get them on the phone
Tried to find my way back home
Tied and failed and tried and failed again

But baby, I don't want you 'cos you look so good
I don't want you 'cos I know I should
I don't want you to come in from the rain

I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)
I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)

Ah, just lately I've been roaming
From town to town
I've been setting them up, setting them up
And I've been knocking 'em down

I was born to live, it seems, a fugitive dream
Make things always better than they seem
And I stop and start, and stop and start
And stop and start again

Baby, I don't want you for your money
I don't want you 'cos I love you, honey
I don't want you to ease this memory pain

No, I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)
Yes, I want you to be my, be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)

Ah, when I see you in the garden once again
Baby, you'll be standing in the summer rain, yeah
Laugh and cry and say what it's all about
You can even jump and shout
And you'll smile and say how are you again

I don't want you 'cos I'm so blue
I don't want you 'cos you know what to do
I don't want you because all my love seems in vain

I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)
I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)

I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)
I want you to be my ball and chain
(I want you to be my ball and chain)
Oh, be my ball and chain

I want you to be my ball and chain
(Be my ball and chain, be my ball and chain)
I want you to be my ball and chain
(Oh, be my ball and chain)

I want you to be my ball and chain
(Ball and chain, ball and chain, ball and chain)
(Ball and chain, ball and chain, ball and chain)
(Ball and chain, ball and chain)

I want you to be my ball and chain
(Ball and chain, ball and chain, ball and chain)
(Be my ball and chain)
(Ball and chain, ball and chain, be my ball and chain)

I want you to be my ball and chain
