Sittin' down by my window
Honey, lookin' out at the rain
Oh, Lord, Lord, sittin' down by my window
Baby, lookin' out at the rain
Somethin' came along
Grabbed a hold of me, honey
And it felt just like a ball and chain
Honey, that's exactly what it felt like
Honey, just dragging me down

And I say, oh, whoa, whoa, now hon'
Tell me why
