Five Short Minutes
     Words and Music by JIM CROCE

     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, ohee!" Sure was a tragic tale
     Because five short minutes of love
     Will cost 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

     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'll say "Ooh, ooee! Sure was a tragic tale
     Because five short minutes of love
     Had cost me twenty long years in jail"
