Eric Clapton

Transposer:

[Intro] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Chorus 1] Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about I worked five long years for one woman she had the nerve to put me out [Verse 1] I got job in steel mill shucking steel like slave Five long years every Friday I come straight back home with all my pay [Chorus 2] Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about I worked five long years for one woman she had the nerve to put me out [Guitar Solo] x2 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Verse 2] I finally learned my lesson should have long time ago The next woman that I marry she’s going to work and bring me the dough Have you ever been mistreated? You know just what I am talking about I worked five long years for one woman [Outro] She had the nerve She had the nerve She had the nerve She had the nerve to put me out

Cette chanson parle des épreuves qu'un homme a traversées en raison d'une relation difficile. Il évoque les cinq longues années qu'il a consacrées à une femme qui, à la fin, l'a abandonné sans scrupules. Au fil des vers, on sent sa désillusion et son labeur acharné dans une usine, souvent en revenant chez lui avec le fruit de son travail, mais sans reconnaissance ni gratitude de la part de celle qu’il aimait. On ressent la colère et l’amertume face à une trahison. À la fin, il réalise qu'il a appris une leçon et qu'il devra choisir différemment à l'avenir, en cherchant une partenaire qui aura également sa place dans la relation. C'est une réflexion sur l'amour, le sacrifice et les déceptions qui viennent parfois avec.
