Jim Croce - Five Short Minutes lyrics
[Jim Croce - Five Short Minutes lyrics]
Well, she was standing by my
Dressing room after the show
Asking for my autograph and asked
If she could go back to my motel room
But the rest is just a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Well, like a fool in a hurry
I took her to my room
She casted me in plaster while
I sang her a tune then I said, 'Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
Well, then a judge and a jury
Sat me in a room
They say that robbin' the cradle is
Worse than robbin' the tomb
Then I said "Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale'
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it)
'Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
And when I get out of
This prison gonna be forty-five
I'll know I used to like to do
It but I won't remember why
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it)
I'll say, 'Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
'Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
Dressing room after the show
Asking for my autograph and asked
If she could go back to my motel room
But the rest is just a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail
Well, like a fool in a hurry
I took her to my room
She casted me in plaster while
I sang her a tune then I said, 'Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
Well, then a judge and a jury
Sat me in a room
They say that robbin' the cradle is
Worse than robbin' the tomb
Then I said "Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale'
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it)
'Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
And when I get out of
This prison gonna be forty-five
I'll know I used to like to do
It but I won't remember why
(Wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it)
I'll say, 'Ooh
Ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
'Because five short minutes of lovin'
Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
