I've been thinking ‘bout it night and day Try to make sense of all the games you play You don't even know what you wanna do If you had a mind you could make it up Wasting my time, do you call me a s*ut? The simplest thought is your cross to bear If brains were clothes you'd have nothing to wear How you gonna go with your foot on the brake? A terminal case of hurry up and wait Going nowhere You're a Ball ‘N' Chain (dragging me down, dragging me down) You're a Ball ‘N' Chain (dragging me down, dragging me down, down, down) There's a thousand reasons why I can't stay And every one of them has your name You tell your little lies but it's plain to see You only fool yourself you don't fool me Going nowhere You're a Ball ‘N' Chain (dragging me down, dragging me down, down) You're a Ball 'N' Chain (dragging me down, dragging me down, down, down) You tell your little lies but it's plain to see You only fool yourself you don't fool me Going nowhere
