Five Short Minutes
(专辑: I Got A Name - 1973)
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 loving 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 loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail' Well, then a
judge and a
jury sat me in a
room They say that robbing the
cradle is worse than robbing 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 loving 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 loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail' 'Because five short minutes of loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
