Lyrics Richard Thompson

Richard Thompson

Legal Matter

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

My mind's lost in a household fog

Wedding gowns and catalogs

Kitchen furnishings and houses

Maternity clothes and baby's trousers

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

I 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
