If you ever been mistreated, well, you know just what I'm talking about.
If you ever been mistreated, you know what I am talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman,  then 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, I went straight home with all my pay.
Ever been mistreated?  You know what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, and then had the nerve to put me out.

I finally learned a lesson, long, long time ago.
The next woman I marry, she gotta work and bring me some dough,
I been mistreated, you know what I'm talking about.
I worked five long years for one woman, then she had the nerve to put me out.
