Jailbreak

It ain't no secret
Now, my sweet one
I know you're thinking
'Bout the day
When you will be
Long long gone
I know you got a ticket
In your pocket
A bag on the back step
Wating for the cab to come
And take you downtown
Like a shot from a gun
Like a bat out of hell
You're making for the door
As if I had you under
Lock and key
Baby what's wrong
With your head?
This ain't no jailbreak
This ain't no jail
I'm not here to shake
You down, baby
Maybe you should just bail
Cause I'm not trying to hold you down
I'm not your ball and chain
I gave you a piece of my heart
And all I got was pain
A little secret for
You, my sweet thing
While you were
Messing around, I was
Getten my thing
Like a shot from a gun
Like a bat out of hell
You're making for the door
While I, I had you under
Lock and key
Baby what's wrong
With your head?
This ain't no jailbreak
This ain't no jail
I'm not here to shake you down babe
Maybe you should just bail
I'm not trying to hold you down
I'm not your ball and chain
I gave you a piece of my heart
And all I got was pain
Later in the morning
Getting you out of bed
Later in the evening, do you
Remember what I said?
Hey, hey I'm talking to
You, are you listening?
And it's time for you to
Go get your things
Like a shot from a gun
Like a bat out of hell
Kicking you out the door
And I'm changing the
Lock and key
Baby it's time for you
To get your head
This ain't no jailbreak
This ain't no jail
Hey, this ain't no jailbreak
Cause I (mabye you
Should just bail)
I'm not here to
Shake you down
It's time for you to
Just bail (just bail)
Baby you are my ball and chain
And I'm getting out of
Your jail (your jail)
