S-sitting down by my window,
oh, looking at the rain.
s-sitting down by my window now now,
all around i felt it,
all i could see was the rain.
something grabbed a hold of me, honey,
felt to me honey like, lord, a ball and chain.
yeah! hey! you know what i mean,
but itand's way too heavy for you,
you canand't hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it canand't be
just because i got to want your love
please please please please, whoa please, please.
whoa, honey it canand't be
just because i got to need you daddy.
please donand't you let me down, no, please, lord!
here you gone today, but i wanted to love you,
i wanted to hold you, yeah, till the day i die,
till the day, till the day,
yeah! hey! hey! all right!
Say, whoa, whoa, honey this canand't be
not anything i ever wanted from you daddy
tell me now, now, now, now, oh, tell me now, yeah.
i say, whoa, whoa, honey this canand't be
no, no, no, no, no, no, no ... yeah yeah, hey!
and i want someone that could tell me, tell me why
just because i got to want your love
honey, just because i got to need, need, need your love
i said i donand't understand, honey, but i wanna chance to try
try, try, try, try try try try
honey when everybody in the world wants the same damn thing
when everybody in the world will need the same lonely thing
when i wanna work for your love, daddy.
when i wanna try for your love, daddy.
i donand't understand how come youand're gone, man. i donand't understand why half the world is still crying, man, when the other half of the world is still crying too, man, i canand't get it together. i mean, if you got a cat for one day, man ¡ª i mean, if you, say, say, if you want a cat for 365 days, right ¡ª you ainand't got him for 365 days, you got him for one day, man. well i tell you that one day, man, better be your life, man. because, you know, you can say, oh man, you can cry about the other 364, man, but youand're gonna lose that one day, man, and thatand's all youand've got. you gotta call that love, man. thatand's what it is, man. if you got it today you donand't want it tomorrow, man, and'cause you donand't need it, and'cause as a matter of fact, as we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man. itand's all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
you gotta hold him like itand's the last minute in your life, baby.
you gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
and'cause someday some weightand's gonna come on your shoulders, babe,
itand's gonna feel too heavy, itand's gonna weigh on you,
itand's gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,
and a chain.
