5446 / Ball and Chain

Do you believe I would take such a thing with me
And give it to a police man?
I wouldn't do that I wouldn't do that
If I did that would you say "Sir come down and put the charge on me"?
I wouldn't do that no I wouldn't do that
I'm not a fool to hurt myself but I would listen to what they done to me
They were wrong they were wrongGive it to me one time Give it to me two times
Give it to me, three times Give it to me four timesOh 5446 what's my number? what's my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
One more time 5447 what's my number? what's my number now? Right now somebody else has that numberGive it to me one time Give it to me two times
Give it to me, three times Give it to me four timesPeople listen up don't stand too near
I got something that you all should hear
All lies, all the lies she told to me
Form a little part of historyI 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 check and life's ok
I don't feel, no pain. I don't have, no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
It's a crazy world to live alone
A ball and chain I call my ownPeople listen up don't stand too close
I got something that you all should know
Holy Matrimony is not for me
Rather die alone in miseryBecause 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
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
I step into the great unknown
A ball and chain I call my ownCrazy world to live aloneWith a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain
I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain I call my ownBecause 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 wayBecause I was always taught 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 check and life's ok
I don't feel no pain, I don't have no time
To listen to conflicting points of view
I step into the great unknown
With a ball and chain I call my own
