Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain lyrics

Sittin` down by my window,

Honey, lookin` out at the rain.

Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin` down by my window,

Baby, lookin` out at the rain.

Somethin` came along, grabbed a hold of me, honey,

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 to go wrong ?

Yeah it goes wrong, yeah.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now babe, tell me why,

Does every thing, every thing.

Hey, here you gone today, I wanted to love you,

I just wanted to hold you, I said, for so long,

Yeah! Alright! Hey!

Love`s got a hold on me, baby,

Feels like a ball and chain.

Now, love`s just draggin` me down, baby,

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.

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, when I ask you,

When I need to know why, c`mon tell me why, hey hey hey,

Here you`ve gone today,

I wanted to love you and hold you

Till the day I die.

I said whoa, whoa, whoa!!

And I say oh, whoa, whoa, no honey

It ain`t fair, daddy it ain`t fair what you do,

I see what you`re doin` to me and you know it ain`t fair.

And I say oh, whoa whoa now baby

It ain`t fair, now, now, now, what you do

I said hon` it ain`t fair what, hon` it ain`t fair what you do.

Oh, here you gone today and all I ever wanted to do

Was to love you

Honey you can still hear me rock and roll the best,

Only it ain`t roll, no, no, no, no, no.

Sittin` down by my window,

Lookin` out at the rain.

Lord, Lord, Lord, sittin` down by my window,

Lookin` out at the rain, see the rain.

Somethin` came along, grabbed a hold of me,

And it felt like a ball and chain.

Oh this can`t be in vain

And I`m gonna tell you one more time, yeah, yeah!

And I say oh, whoa whoa, now baby

This can`t be, no this can`t be in vain,

And I say no no no no no no no no, whoa,

And I say whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Now now now now now now now now now no no not in vain

Hey, hope there is someone that could tell me

Hon`, tell me why love is like

Just like a ball

Just like a ball

Baaaaaaalllll

Oh daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy

And a chain.

Yeah.
