Sublime – 5446 Thats My Number / Ball And Chain (Lyrics)

Written By: Frederick Hibbert

Lyrics (Start at 0:13):

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
And if I did that would you say, sir
Come down and put the charge on me
I wouldn’t do that, oh
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

Give it to me, one time (Oh, give it to me, yeah!)
Give it to me, two times
Give it to me, three times
Give it to me, four times

Oh 5446 was my number
Was my number now
Right now, somebody else has that number
One more time!
5447, was my number, was my number now
Right now, somebody else has that number

Say, boops, say, wan’ go with him up, yes
Say, Boops, say, wan’ keep him, keep him ‘pon his back, sing
Say, Boops, say, me wan’ for take off her dress, huh
Say, Boops, say, I’ve kissed, now caressed

Cause we’re chillin’ and we’re chillin’ into the club all night
We’re chillin’ and we’re chillin’ into the club all night, buds
Hearin’ the dogs, feelin’ the beat, in the dog pound
DJ, Lord have his grilled cheese

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

Ah, give it to me one time (Ooh, yes, oh, my pussy)
Give it to me two times
Give it to me three time
Give it to me four time

People listen up don’t stand too near
I’ve got something 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, the 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

People listen up don’t stand too close
I’ve got something that you all should know
Holy matrimony’s not for me
Rather die alone in misery
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
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
On a ball and chain I call my own

It’s a crazy world to live alone

With a girl that you knew
And the bonds that we grew
Turned into a ball and chain
Oh, I step into the great unknown
On 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 ’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
Whoa, I stepped into the great unknown
On a ball and chain I call my own
