she's a lonely girl, holding secrets deep inside
it's a crazy world, when your heart
and mind collide
a prisoners' action, she's trying to run away
doesn't know what she'll find,
but she's got to get away
i hear you cry out in the heat of the night
i didn't know i was your ball and chain
cry out just see the light
i didn't know i was the one to blame
there was a time we shared,
we had all the words to say
but somewhere along this road,
we went our separate ways
i hear you cry out in the heat of the night
i didn't know i was your ball and chain
cry out just to see the light
i didn't know i was the one to blame
cry out in the heat of the night
i didn't know i was your ball and chain
you turn and you walk away
leaving me standing here
with nothing, no words to say
your silence is clear
i hear you cry out in the heat of the night
i didn't know i was your ball and chain
cry out just to see the light
i didn't know i was the one to blame
cry out in the heat of the night
i didn't know i was your ball and chain |
