Release Date
Performed by
The WhoProduced by
Shel TalmyWrited by

The subject of the song is teenage divorce and it marks the first time Townshend sang lead vocals, rather than Roger Daltrey, possibly because the song was too close to home for Daltrey who was divorcing his wife at the time.
A Legal Matter Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 2]
My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Maternity clothes and babies' trousers
[Chorus 2]
Now it's a legal matter, baby
Marrying's no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on
[Verse 3]
I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails
[Chorus 3]
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
[Outro]
You ain't the first and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never wanna make them cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why
Just want to keep doing
All the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office
Just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby
