Five Long Years

Five Long Years - Ike & Tina Turner

Written by：Hooker/John Lee

If you ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

If you ever been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one man

And he had the nerve to put me out

I got a job as a mate

And I was scrapping floors like a slave

Five long years I worked for one man

And I have to bring home all of my pay

Have I been mistreated

You know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one man

And he had the nerve to put me out

I finally learned my lesson

And it take a long time to show

The next man that I marry

He's gonna have to work and bring me the dough

If I been mistreated

And you know just what I'm talking about

I worked five long years for one man

And he had the nerve to put me out
