There's nothing like that feeling
Of a love that is new
Just like the love we had
When I met you
But the winds of change are blowing
And we ain't standing tall
Didn't take very long for
The tears to begin to fall
So I cry just a little for
That old familiar pain
You're nothing but
A New Ball and Chain
Once you used to kiss me
And hold me through the night
But now you're trying to change me
And you always want to start a fight
You seem to look right through me
Like all the love is gone
I wanted so bad to believe
But I was dreaming all along
So I cry just a little for
That old familiar pain
You're nothing but
A New Ball and Chain
We ll I've picked up the pieces of
My broken heart and I'm
Moving on
I won't let you drag me down
Because I'm already gone
So I cry just a little for
That old, old familiar pain
You're nothing but
A New....
Nothing but a new...
Oh So I cry just a little
For that old familiar pain
You're nothing but
A New Ball and Chain
A New Ball and Chain
