How many nights, how many days do I wait here for you?
Have you long forgotten all the things we'd said?
And how many times must I let the phone ring just to get to you?
Could it be that now this love has long gone dead?

No no, the wait hasn't been so long
No oh, I'm sure you're feelin's gone and then
Love, Love feels like a ball and chain
What a fool I've been to fall in love again, I know
Love, Love when will it ever end?
And I don't think that I can ever love again

Well how many nights have I stayed by the phone
Just to hear from you and
Could it be that I just wanna hear you say
"That all of this time you'd been thinkin' alone wonderin' what to do
And that I love you is all you wanna say"?

No, the wait hasn't been so long
No, I'm sure you're feelin's gone and then
Love, Love feels like a ball and chain
What a fool I've been to fall in love again, I know
Love, Love when will it ever end?
Well I don't think that I can ever love again

No, I'm sure your feelin's gone and then
Love, Love feels like a ball and chain
What a fool I've been to fall in love again, oh
Love, love when will it ever end?
I don't think that I can ever love again, oh
I don't think that I can ever love again
'Cause your love feels like a ball and chain
