FIVE SHORT MINUTES

JIM CROCE

Key:

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 love

Will cost 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

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 love

Will cost me twenty long years in jail

When I get out of this prison gonna be forty five

I'll know that I used to like to do it

But I won't remember why

I'll say ooh ooee sure was a tragic tale

(wasn't worth it, wasn't worth it)

Because five short minutes of love

Will cost me twenty long years in jail

Because five short minutes of love

Will cost me twenty long years in jail
