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
D E A
Now it's a legal matter, baby
D E A
You got me on the run
D E A
It's a legal matter, baby
D E
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
[repeat intro riff]

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

A D E
You ain't the first and you ain't the last
A D E
I gain and lose my women fast
A D E
I never want to make them cry
A D E
I just get bored, don't ask me why
D
I just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do
E
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
A
Sorry, baby
[repeat intro pattern]

| Obviously about a girl falling in love with a guy who doesn't commit, who "gets bored" and "gains and loses his women fast". | |

| This song's title is also an inside joke, as the Who were engaged in legal struggles with producer Shel Talmy, who held the rights to recordings the band's new label wanted to release. | |
