LOVE'S A MISDEMEANOR
IT'S A LOWDOWN DIRTY CRIME
LOVE'S A MISDEMEANOR
IT'S AS BAD AS DOING TIME
IT'S LIKE BEING IN THE SLAMMER
DOING FIVE TO NINETY-NINE


IT'S LIKE BEING IN A PRISON
BEING LOCKED UP EVERYDAY
IT'S LIKE BEING IN A PRISON
BEING LOCKED UP EVERYDAY
A GUARD STANDING BY YOUR DOOR
YOU’LL NEVER GET AWAY


SOMEBODY PUSH THE KEY THROUGH THE BARS
LET ME MAKE MY GETAWAY
PUSH THE KEY THROUGH THE BARS
LET ME MAKE MY GETAWAY
MY CELLMATE IS LEANING HARD ON ME
I JUST CAN'T STAND ANOTHER DAY


SO LISTEN TO ME WOMAN
LOOSEN UP THAT BALL AND CHAIN
LISTEN TO ME WOMAN
LOOSEN UP THAT BALL AND CHAIN
I'VE BEEN LOCKED UP HERE SO LONG
IT’S DRIVING ME INSANE


THERE AINT NOTHING LIKE A WIFE
TO CUT YOU DOWN TO SIZE
THERE AINT NOTHING LIKE A WIFE
TO CUT YOU DOWN TO SIZE
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE GOT IT MADE
SHE’LL KEEP YOU LOCKED UP INSIDE
