"Ball and Chain", sebuah karya abadi dari Elton John, menggemakan kisah seseorang yang dibebani oleh beban emosional. Lagu ini dimulai dengan pengakuan yang menyayat hati, "I got a ball and chain hanging around my heart," mengungkapkan kesedihan dan keputusasaan yang dirasakan oleh sang narator. Kepahitan menguar dalam kata-kata mereka saat mereka menyalahkan orang yang dicintainya karena menghancurkan dunia mereka, menggambarkannya sebagai individu yang berperasaan dingin dan tidak berperasaan. Di tengah penderitaan ini, narator mengungkapkan harapan yang sia-sia bahwa sedikit lebih banyak cinta bisa mengubah segalanya.
Ball And Chain Lyrics
Elton John
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
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
