Song Lyrics

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Gary Osborne

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
And if it`s all the same maybe we should part
And I`m singing do do do...
I`m singing do do do...

You had to tie me down inside a cage of doubt
I`m sick of being kicked around so this is where I get out

Oh oui baby you tried to hold me but you were slowly
Driving me insane
Oh oui baby

I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart
You were the one to blame for tearing my world apart
I got a heart so true, you got a heart of ice
A little more love from you, it could have been paradise

I couldn`t take your pain, you couldn`t take my love
So I`m gonna quit this game `cause baby I`ve had enough
