Sublime - 54-46/Ball and Chain lyrics

Part I: "54-46 (That's My Number)" [Verse: Bradley Nowell] 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 was innocent to what they done to me They were wrong, they were wrong [Refrain] Give it to me, one time (Ohh yes, ooh my p**y) Give it to me, two times Give it to me, three times Give it to me, four times [Bridge A: Nowell] Oh 54-46 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 number [Bridge B: Nowell] Say, Boops, say, one go with him up, yes Say, Boops, say, want keep him, keep him on his back, sing! Say, Boops, say, me want to take off her dress, huh Say, Boops, say, I've kissed and caressed [Bridge C: Nowell] 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 Hearin the dogs, feeling the beat, into the dog pound DJ, "Lord have his grilled cheese" [Bridge D: Nowell] Some jealous punk Snuck up around the back Tried to take the lovin' over me Lord I got into a fist fight And wound up in jail all night [Refrain: Nowell] Ah, give it to me one time (Ohh yes, ooh my p**y) Give it to me two times Give it to me three time Give it to me four time Part II: Ball and Chain [Verse 1: Nowell] People listen up don't stand to near I got something that you all should hear All lies, all the lies she told to me Make a little part of history [Chorus: Nowell] I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet babys on the way Kiss 'em on the check and lifes 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 own [Verse 2: Nowell] People listen up don't stand to close I got something that you all should know Holy Matrimony is not for me Rather die alone in misery [Chorus: Nowell] I was always taught that boy meets girl Fall in love get married and forget the world Nine months later, the sweet babys 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 own Crazy world to live alone [Outro: Nowell] With 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 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 boy meets girl Fall in love get married and forget the world Nine months later the sweet babys on the way Kiss 'em on the check and lifes 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
