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 itīs way too heavy for you,
You canīt hold it tomorrow.
Say, whoa, whoa, honey, it canīt be
Just because I got to want your love
Please please please please, whoa please, please.
Whoa, honey it canīt be Whoa,
Just because I got to need you daddy.
Please donīt 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 canīt 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 canīt 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 donīt 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 donīt understand how come youīre gone, man.
I donīt understand why half the world is still crying, man,
When the other half of the world
Is still crying too, man,
I canīt get it together.
I mean, if you got a cat for one day, man
I mean, if you, say,say,
If you want a cat for 365 days, right
You ainīt 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 youīre gonna lose that one day, man,
And thatīs all youīve got.
You gotta call that love, man. Thatīs what it is, man.
If you got it today you donīt want it tomorrow, man,
Cause you donīt need it, īcause as a matter of fact,
As we discovered in the train, tomorrow never happens, man.
Itīs all the same fucking day, man.
So you gotta, when you wanna hold a sigh,
You gotta hold him
Like itīs the last minute in your life, baby.
You gotta hold, whoa, whoa, hold him
Cause someday some weightīs
Gonna come on your shoulders, babe,
Itīs gonna feel too heavy, itīs gonna weigh on you,
Itīs gonna feel just like a ball, ball, ball, oh daddy,
And a chain.
