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.
