Lyrics

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me And give it to a police man? I wouldn't do that, mhmm I wouldn't do that And if I did that would you say, "Sir" And come down and put the charge on me? I wouldn't do that, oh I wouldn't do that I'm not a fool to hurt myself But I was innocent to what they done to me They were wrong, they were wrong But give it to me one time (oh give it to me, yeah) Two times Give it to me three times Give it to me four times Oh, 54, 46, was my number Was my number now Right now, somebody else has that number One more time 54, 47, was my number Was my number now Right now, somebody else has that number Oh Say boom, say, one go with him up, yes Say boom, say, want keep him, keep him on his back, say Say boom, say, me want to take off her dress, huh Say boom, say, I've kissed and caressed 'Cause we're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night We're jillin' and we're chillin' into the club all night, buds Hear the dogs, hear the beat, in the dog pound DJ, "Lord have his grilled cheese" Some jealous punk Snuck up around my back Tried to take the lovin' over me Lord I got into a fist fight And wound up in jail all night Give it to me one time Give it to me two times Give it to me three time Give it to me four time People listen up Don't stand too near I've got something that you all should hear All lies All the lies they told to me Form a little part of history I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay I don't feel no pain I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view, oh It's a crazy world to live alone A ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-na-na-na Woo People listen up Don't stand too close I've got something that you all should know Holy matrimony is not for me I'd rather die alone in misery Because I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love. get married and forget the world Nine months later, sweet baby's on the way Isn't that what they used to say? With a girl that you knew And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain, mhmm I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-na-na-na Woo Crazy world to live alone With a girl that you knew And the bonds that we grew Turned into a ball and chain, oh I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own, huh, huh Because marriage doesn't work in the world today It's an institution that is in decay And if I have love I wish to portray I will surely find another way Because I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love, get married and forget the world Nine months later the sweet baby's on the way Kiss 'em on the cheek and life's okay I don't feel no pain I don't have no time To listen to conflicting points of view, whoa I step into the great unknown On a ball and chain I call my own A-ba-na-na-na-na Woo
