Eric Clapton - Five Long Years lyrics
[Eric Clapton - Five Long Years lyrics]
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out
I got a job in a steel mill
Shucking steel like a slave
Five long years, every Friday
I come straight back home with all my pay
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out
I finally learned my lesson
Should have long time ago
The next woman that I marry
She's going to work and bring me the dough
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve she had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
You know just what I'm talking about
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out
I got a job in a steel mill
Shucking steel like a slave
Five long years, every Friday
I come straight back home with all my pay
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve to put me out
I finally learned my lesson
Should have long time ago
The next woman that I marry
She's going to work and bring me the dough
Have you ever been mistreated?
You know just what I'm talking about
I worked five long years for one woman
She had the nerve she had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
