Five Short Minutes Lyrics - Jim Croce

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 lovin' 

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 lovin' 

Done brought me twenty long years in jail'

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Well, then a judge and a jury sat me in a room 

They say that robbin' the cradle is worse than robbin' 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 lovin' 

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 lovin' 

Done brought me twenty long years in jail' 

'Because five short minutes of lovin' 

Done brought me twenty long years in jail'
