How many nights, how many days, do I wait here for you? Have you long forgotten all the things we'd said And how many times must I let the phone ring, just to get to you Could it be that now this love is long gone dead Oh, no, no, the way hasn't been so long No, I'm sure your feelin's gone and then (Love, love feels like a ball and chain) What a fool I've been to fall in love again (Love, love, when will it ever end?) And I don't think that I can ever love again Well, how many nights, have I stayed by the phone? Just to hear from you, could it be that I just wanna hear you say That all of this time, you'd been thinkin' alone Wonderin' what to do and that "I love you" is all you wanna say No, the way, it hasn't been so long No, I'm sure your feelin's gone and then (Love, love feels like a ball and chain) What a fool I've been to fall in love again! (Love, love, when will it ever end?) Well, I don't think that I can ever love again No, no, I'm sure your feelin's gone and then (Love, love feels like a ball and chain) What a fool I've been to fall in love again (Love, love, when will it ever end?) And I don't think that I can ever love again I don't think that I can ever love again 'Cuz your love feels like a ball and chain
