The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was an American single-engine, single-seat, all-metal fighter and ground attack aircraft that first flew in 1938. The P-40 design was a modification of the previous Curtiss P-36 Hawk which reduced development time and enabled a rapid entry into production and operational service. The Warhawk was used by the air forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war. It was the third most-produced American fighter, after the P-51 and P-47; by November 1944, when production of the P-40 ceased, 13,738 had been built, all at Curtiss-Wright Corporation's main production facilities at Buffalo, New York.
Warhawk was the name the United States Army Air Corps adopted for all models, making it the official name in the United States for all P-40s. The British Commonwealth and Soviet air forces used the name Tomahawk for models equivalent to the P-40B and P-40C, and the name Kittyhawk for models equivalent to the P-40D and all later variants.
I just wanna be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tied me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away,
Holding on like a ball and chain
I never wanted to stay
In one place too long
Oh no, not me, I didn't wanna be
A victim of that fatal touch
When you want someone too much but
You, you'll be the end of me
And I don't want to hurt anymore
I tried my best to avoid
Making promises
Oh, no, not me, I didn't wanna
be a prisoner of that tender trap
When there's no turning back but
You, you got me on my knees
And I won't be afraid anymore
I just wanna be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tied me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away,
Holding on like a ball and chain
I know it's been some time confined to be alone
but I know I found the one who's gotts be this love jones
you know that I get open when you rubbing my back the goose bumps
and chills must be proof of that cos I'm feeling when your dealing
all the knowledge you've got about making it good
when your touching my spots I've goy lots of loving
when we bubbling it right I look forward to the time the day turns night
you've gotta meet me at the crib for the quarter to nine
and at the time love devine and what do I find
I won't be afraid anymore
The side of you be wanting me just haunting my fight boy be my ball and chain yo it's gotta be right
I just wanna be your ball and chain
Wrapped around your finger
Locked up, tied me down
Follow you forever
Never let you get away,
