Lyrics
0:08Well she was standing by my dressing room after the show
0:13Asking for my autograph and asked if she could go
0:16Back to my motel room but the rest is just a tragic tale
0:23Because five short minutes of loving
0:27Done brought me twenty long years in jail
0:33Well like a fool in a hurry I took her to my room
0:37She casted me in plaster while I sang her a tune
0:40Then I said ooh wee sure was a tragic tale
0:47Because five short minutes of loving
0:51Done brought me twenty long years in jail
0:56Well then a judge and a jury sat me in a room
1:00They say that robbing the cradle is worse than robbing the tomb
1:04Then I said ooh wee sure was a tragic tale
1:09Wasn't worth it wasn't worth it
1:11Because five short minutes of loving
1:15Done brought me twenty long years in jail
1:44And when I get out of this prison gonna be forty five
1:47I'll know I used to like to do it but I won't remember why
1:51I said ooh wee sure was a tragic tale
1:56Wasn't worth it wasn't worth it
1:58Because five short minutes of loving
2:02Done brought me twenty long years in jail
2:07Because five short minutes of loving
2:11Done brought me twenty long years in jail
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 loving 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 wee sure was a tragic tale Because five short minutes of loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail Well then a judge and a jury sat me in a room They say that robbing the cradle is worse than robbing the tomb Then I said ooh wee sure was a tragic tale Wasn't worth it wasn't worth it Because five short minutes of loving 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 I said ooh wee sure was a tragic tale Wasn't worth it wasn't worth it Because five short minutes of loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail Because five short minutes of loving Done brought me twenty long years in jail
