When I fall, I fall hard My body bruises at your touch My ankles bear these lover's scars The weight is heavy, but necessary You'll never change, my ball and chain My ball and chain, you will remain You've always been my ball and chain ♪ She lingers somewhere I cannot find My lover stands upon the shore It's me she should be waiting for The distance binds us, locked in twain You will remain my ball and chain My ball and chain, you will remain You've always been my ball and chain ♪ My ball and chain, you will remain You've always been my ball and chain You've always been my ball and chain
