Ball and Chain - Paul Young

Oh the room goes quiet at the mention of her name

As her face comes back to haunt you once again

And the rumour’s going 'round she’s with another guy

Don’t worry, all of the damage is done

No reason to tell her 'Get outta here'

She’s in a party of one

And one is such an unhappy number

I wonder why she came

Everywhere there’s thunder

Sure you’re gonna find some rain

I wonder why you play the game

Oh that spell you’re under

Maybe she’s your ball and chain

All I see is a girl who’s having to pretend

And I’d tell her 'have a heart'

If she had a heart to mend

Don’t worry, all of the damage is done

No reason to tell her «Get outta here»

She’s in a party of one

And one is such an unhappy number

Don’t worry, poor little rich girl have fun

Her jealousy fears you’re the stronger one

Maybe tomorrow won’t come

And one is such an unlucky number

I wonder why she came

Everywhere there’s thunder

Sure you’re gonna find some rain

I wonder why you play the game

Oh that spell you’re under

Maybe she’s your ball and chain
