I Did My Time Lyrics

I climbed a mountain

You called it a hill

And when I was happy

You said I was ill

I did my penance

I did my time

But when I walked away

You called it a crime

You put lead in my saddle

You changed the signs on my road

Yeah, you were a burden

As you lightened the load

They say love is blind

Not to mention, deaf and dumb

But I still had feelings

As I slipped from under your thumb

Cos I did my penance

I did my time

But when I walked away

You called it a crime

You tied me up

In such a pretty knot

Yeah, all those games that we played

At least you liked them a lot

I kicked all my habits

You kicked my jewels

Baby, if you were a man

You'd know how that feels

But I did my penance

I did my time

And when I walked away

You called it a crime
