Five long years de Eric Clapton

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 a long time ago.
the next woman that i marry, she gonna 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.
