Well, the sound of your voice on the telephone
Make me feel distressed, make me all alone
Why do I feel so incomplete?
When you're not here I'm just obsolete

My bed is burnin' all through the night
You're the only one that can make me feel right
Try to lay down my sleepin' head
But I'm tossin' and turnin' around instead (like a ball and chain)

Uh, uh-uh (like a ball and chain)
Ah, eh-eh (like a ball and chain)

Love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, make it alright now)
Love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, feels too good)
I love you like a ball and chain (make it alright now)

Love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, feels too good)
Ooh, I'm a fool, I know, but I'm stuck on you
I'm a fool, I know and it's makin' me blue
There's a river of blood, there's a river of tears
I've been wasting all these years

I love you like a ball and chain (hey-hey, make it alright now)
Love you like a ball and chain (ooh-ooh, no, no, no, no, feels too good)
I love you like a ball and chain (ah-ah-ah-ah, make it alright now)
Love you like a ball and chain (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, feels too good)

I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, make it alright now)
I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, feels too good)
I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, make it alright now)

I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, feels too good)
I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, make it alright now)
I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain, feels too good, like a ball and chain)
I love you like a ball and chain (ball and chain)

Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain

Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain

Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
Like a ball and chain, ball and chain
