A Legal Matter Lyrics

THE WHO - A LEGAL MATTER (Townsend) Released as a single on
11th March 1966 with INSTANT PARTY as the B side.
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails
Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on
My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Maternity clothes and baby's trousers
Now it's a legal matter, baby
Marryin's no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
Well, I've freed my head from your garden rails
Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on
You ain't the first and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never want to make them cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why
Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby
I
told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I
know you thought you had me nailed
But I've
freed my head from your garden rails
It's a
legal matter, baby you
got me on the run a
legal matter, baby A
legal matter from now
on
My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Ma..
.ternity clothes and baby's trousers
It's a
legal matter, baby you
got me on the run a
legal matter, baby A
legal matter from now
on
I
told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I
know you thought you had me nailed
But I've
freed my head from your garden rails
Now it's a
legal matter, baby you
got me on the run a
legal matter, baby A
legal matter from now
on
You
ain't the first and you ain't the last I
gain and lose my women fast I
never want to make them cry I
just get bored, don't ask me why
Just wanna keep doing all the
dirty little things I do
Not work all day in an office just to
bring my money back to you Sorry,
baby
