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.

The next woman that I marry, she gonna work and bring me the dough.

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.
