Five Women

Joe Cocker

It took five women to getcha off of 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 cold 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 a 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 that I barely knew 
The child would never really have a father 
Oh and I'd be stuck, stuck on u 

It took five women to getcha off of my mind 
Get off my mind, baby 
Fallin' in love all over, you I'll never win 

May was her name and 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 stories to a busy-body of 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 only made me, made me want you more 
She's gone, she's gone but you're still here 
I want you very ... 

It took five women to getcha off of my mind 
It took five months, a plenty good wasted time 
Oh, 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
