"Ball And Chain" lyrics - SUBLIME

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me,
And give it to a police man?
I wouldn't do that, mmhmm
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, oohhh
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 (Ohh give it to me,yeah!)
Give it to me - 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
Ohhhh

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 (Ohh yes, ooh my pussy)
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 somthing 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
Whooo

People listen up,
Don't stand to 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 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, mmm

I step into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
A ba na na na na
Whooo

Crazy world to live alone

Ba ba da ba ba ba da da
Ba na na na na na na na na na na
Ah, ba da da da ba da
Ba na na na na na na na na na
Ba ba da ba ba ba da da
Ba na na na na na na na na na
Mmmmm mmm

With a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain, ohh

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 na
Whoooo
