When I fall, I fall hardnMy body bruises at your touchnMy ankles bear these lover's scarsnThe weight is heavy, but necessarynYou'll never change my ball and chainnnMy ball and chain you will remainnYou've always been my ball and chainnnShe lingers somewhere I cannot findnMy lover stands upon the shorenIt's me she should be waiting fornThe distance binds us locked in twainnYou will remain my ball and chainnnMy ball and chain you will remainnYou've always been my ball and chainnnMy ball and chain you will remainnYou've always been my ball and chain
