Paroles de 'Ball and Chain' par 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

if I did that would you say
"sir 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 (1, 2)
give it to me three times (1, 2, 3)
give it to me four times (1, 2, 3, 4)

Oh, 5446, was my number
whats my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number
one more time
5447 was my number
whats my number now?
Right now somebody else has that number

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

'cuz we're chillin' and we're chillin' in the club all night,
we're chillin' and we're chillin' in the club all night,
hear the dog, hear the beat, in the dog pound,
DJ, "Lord have his grilled cheese"

some jealous punk,
snuck up around my back,
tried to take a 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 (1, 2)
give it to me three times (1, 2, 3)
give it to me four times (1, 2, 3, 4)

people listen up
don't stand too near I've got somethin'
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 too close,
I've got somethin' that you all should know:
holy matrimony is not for me,
I'd rather die alone in misery

'Cuz 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 you knew,
and the bonds that we grew,
turned into a ball and chain, mmm.

I step into the great unknown.
and a ball and chain I call my home;
a-ba-na-na-na-na, whooo

crazy world to live alone

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,
and a ball and chain I call my own,
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 him 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
with a ball and chain I call my own;
a-ba-na-na-na-na whoooo
