Lyrics

Sittin' down by my window
 Honey, lookin' out at the rain
 
 Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window
 Baby, lookin' out at the rain
 Somethin' came along, grabbed a hold of me
 And it felt just like a ball and chain
 Honey, that's exactly what it felt like
 Honey, just dragging me down
 And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why
 Why does every single little tiny thing I hold on goes wrong?
 Yeah it all goes wrong, yeah
 And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why
 Why does every thing, every thing
 Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you
 Honey, I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long
 Yeah! Alright! Hey!
 Love's got a hold on me, baby
 Feels just like a ball and chain
 
 Now, love's just draggin' me down, baby, yeah
 Feels like a ball and chain
 ♪
 I hope there's someone out there who could tell me
 Why the man I love wanna leave me in so much pain
 Yeah, maybe, maybe you could help me, come on, help me!
 And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon', tell me why
 Now tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why, yeah
