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 Solo Chorus out
