Ball and Chain (Demo)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] People listen up, don't stand too close I've got something that you all should know All the lies, all the lies they told to me Form a little part of history I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way Kiss him on the cheek, and life's okay [Pre-Chorus] I don't feel no pain I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view, oh [Chorus] It's a crazy world to live alone A ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-na-na-na Woo! [Verse 2] People stand back, don't stand too near God knows I've got something that you all should hear Well Holy, Matrimony's not for me Rather die alone in misery I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way Isn't that what they used to say? [Pre-Chorus] When the girl, you knew And the bonds, you grew Oh, turned into a ball and chain [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-na-na-na Woo! Bop! [Refrain] A crazy world to live alone [Scatting Verse] [Pre-Chorus] When the girl, you knew And the bonds, we grew Turn into a ball and chain Mmm [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own Huh, huh, huh, huh! [Verse 3] Because marriage doesn't work in the world today It's an institution that is in decay And if I, have love I wish to portray I will surely find another way Because I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet baby's on the way Kiss him on the cheek and life's okay [Pre-Chorus] When the girl, you knew And the bonds, we grew All turn into a ball and chain Woah! [Chorus] I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-bum-bum-bum Woo! Ugh!
