If you ever been mistreated, then you know just what i'm talking about.
If you ever been mistreated people, you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
And she had the nerve to put me out.

You know i got a job in a steel mill, trucking steel like a slave.
Five long years, every friday i went straight home with all of my pay.
If you ever been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
And she had the nerve to put me out.

But you know, i finally learned a lesson, a long, long time ago.
The next woman that i marry, she gotta work and bring in the dough.
If you been mistreated people then you know just what i'm talking about.
I tell you i worked, i worked five long years for a woman,
She had the nerve, she had the nerve to put me out.
