Well now I've been bored by what they say
   A                 B
But I'm fake listening anyway
   E 
And I never call them on the phone
         A                       E
But I was hoping that they weren't home
          A
And that's jail
            B
Yeah, that's jail
             E
And I must be free

Yeah, free


        E
Well now I have tried to hide my thought
A                 B
Hoping that my wife wouldn't think "what?"
   E
Now I have tried to hide my thought
A 
And when she caught me I was just deny it
                 E
Saying that no I'm not
          A
And that's jail
                B
I'm saying that's jail
             E
And I must be free



Check this out
    A
Well some folks can sleep next to someone else
E
Keeping little secrets to themselves
A
How they can do that, way beyond me
            E
Cause that's jail and I must be


E
Oh now, I tremble and I still delay
    A                 B
Them things ??? that I should have made
      E
Well I tremble and I still deny
    A                E
That bad little voice inside
          A
And that's jail
         B
Oh that's jail
             E
And I must be free

Lyrics

Well I have tried to hide my thought
Hoping that she wouldn't say "what?"
I have tried to hide my thought
And all the time saying no no I'm not
And I'm telling you that's jail
And I must be free

I trembled, I still delay
Things that I should have say
I tremble and I still deny
That still little voice inside
And folks, that's jail
And I must be free

[Yeah, you can't sit like that for much too long]

You see some folks can live next to someone else
[Sleep right next to them]
Keeping their secrets inside to theirself
Some folks can do that but not me
Cause that's jail
And I must be free

I'm listening
I've been bored by what they say
But I'm fake ??? listening anyway
And [I'll tell you another one]
I have called folks on the phone
Meanwhile
Hoping that they're not home
And that's jail
And I must be free

[One more time modern lovers]

And that's jail
Buddy that's jail
And I must be free

But I fake listened anyway
And I have called them on the phone
But I was hoping that they weren't home
And that's jail
Yeah, that's jail
And I must be free

Well now
I have tried to hide my thought
Hoping that my wife wouldn't say "what?"
Now I have tried to hide my thought
[And when she caught me, I was just deny it]
Saying oh no I'm not
And that's jail
I'm saying that's jail
And I must be free

[Check this out]

Some folks can sleep next to someone else
Keeping little secrets to themself
How they can do that's way beyond me
Cause that's jail
And I must be free

I trembled, I still delay
Them statements that I should have made
I tremble and I still deny
That bad little voice inside
And, that's jail
That's jail
And I must be free

And, that's jail
Buddy that's jail
And I must be free
