Chastised

I am locked into life But chastised from within Must be faithful to wife And free from all sin This lock that is placed Is to keep me so pure This law can be traced In my history for sure You may think of me crazy But I’m not really nuts And if you call me lazy I’ll call you a putz To keep yourself pure Is harder than said And to take a detour Will leave feelings of dread You can hold your head high If you’re faithful to one You might make yourself cry If you’re faithful to none If I say I’m chastised I’m not wearing a belt Why act so surprised It’s the cards I was dealt I can hold my head high Cause I’m faithful to one And won’t make myself cry As I’m unfaithful to none And now I am done I know I am good What have I won I did all that I should Won the love of a person Who I do love right back With no love you may worsen All those feelings you lack It’s time to sign out So I’ll say my goodbye You don’t have to shout Just give it a try
