The Balltrap
Well my brother said he saw you in a downtown bar
With a price on your head and a black man on your arm
C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck
Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs
C'mon honey, you got me crawling down on my knees
If you say it's all over, I'll pack up and go
But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone
Come back baby and let's get naked tonight
Well I can't say yes, and I can't say no
My heart wants to love you but my soul says go
C'mon sugar, why don't you let your man off the hook
You got me in a ball trap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a ball trap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
First time I had you up on ol' Park Lane
You didn't know my name even when I came
As I recall, you let me walk home in the rain
You said I'm cute but to tell the truth
It's my body you want with the red-hot juice
C'mon honey, let's call the whole thing off
You got me in a ball trap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a ball trap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram, oh yeah
Wait a minute
My mama don't like you and I ain't surprised
You got poison lips, you got amphetamine eyes
She keeps on saying why don't you find a nice country girl
But Ma I ain't never been in love before
I can't sleep or eat all week
But Friday night (Friday night) I'll be alright (be alright)
On the midnight trampoline, ow!
It's a ball trap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a ball trap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
C'mon it's first time
Alright, you got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
Yeah, yeah, yeah
With a price on your head and a black man on your arm
C'mon sister, I ain't quite as dumb as I seem
I'd rather see you dead with a rope 'round your neck
Or see you paralyzed in both your thighs
C'mon honey, you got me crawling down on my knees
If you say it's all over, I'll pack up and go
But this time tomorrow you'll be screamin' on the phone
Come back baby and let's get naked tonight
Well I can't say yes, and I can't say no
My heart wants to love you but my soul says go
C'mon sugar, why don't you let your man off the hook
You got me in a ball trap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a ball trap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
First time I had you up on ol' Park Lane
You didn't know my name even when I came
As I recall, you let me walk home in the rain
You said I'm cute but to tell the truth
It's my body you want with the red-hot juice
C'mon honey, let's call the whole thing off
You got me in a ball trap
Lord, I'm eating outta your hands
You got me in a ball trap, hung up on a one-night stand
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram, oh yeah

C'mon it's first time
Alright, you got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
You got me in a ball trap, strung out on a midnight tram
Yeah, yeah, yeah
