Eric Clapton Five Long Years

Tekst piosenki

[Chorus]
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about
Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about
I worked five long years for one woman, she had the nerve to put me out

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Outro]
She had the nerve
She had the nerve
She had the nerve to put me out
