Five Women Songtext
von Joe Cocker

It took five women to get you off my mind
It took five months, a plenty good wasted time
But it just took five minutes when I saw your face again
To fall in love all over, I guess with you I′ll never win

March was a cold one, in more ways than one
I went down to the nightclub, lookin' for the sun
Lookin′ for the light that could brighten up a day
That's been darker than a hole since you went away

April usually brings showers
This time it was the hurtin' kind
This woman said she wanted my baby
I told her I′d have to be deaf, dumb, and blind
To fall in love with someone, someone I barely knew
The child would never really have a father
Oh, and I′d be stuck, stuck on you


May was her name, she was jumpin'
Jumpin′ from plane to plane
She was an actress or model or somethin'
Can′t even remember her first name

June brought an Easter bunny
Needless to say, that girl was late
Told a million story to a busy-body 'bout our one and only date

July was a heartbreak, extraordinary
I met this woman whose kiss was somethin′ scary
It felt so much, so much like yours
That it only made me, made me want you more
She's gone, she's gone, but you′re still here
I want you very only, oh, only you my dear

It took five women to get you off my mind
It took five months, a plenty good wasted time
But it just took five minutes when I saw your face again
To fall in love all over, I guess with you I′ll never win
