Clean Up Woman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A clean-up woman is a woman who
Gets all the love we girls leave behind
The reason I know so much about her
Is because she picked up on a man of mine
Chumpin' Slick was my ruin
Because I now did all I was doin'
Was makin' it easy for the clean-up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
oh, yeah, I was makin' it easy
For the clean-up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
I took this man's love and I put it on a shelf
And like a fool, I thought I had him all to myself
When he needed love and I was out havin' fun
But I found out that all I had done
Was make it easy for the clean-up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
oh, yeah, I was makin' it pretty easy
For that dirty sneakin' clean up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
When he needed love and I was out havin' fun
But I found out that all I had done
Was make it easy for the clean-up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
I guess, I was makin' it pretty easy
For that dirty sneakin' clean-up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh, yeah
Clean-up woman, she'll wipe his blues away
She'll give him penny lovin', 24 hours a day
Clean-up woman, she'll sweep him off his feet
She's the one now to take him in
When you dump the man in the street
So take the tip, you better get hip
To the clean-up woman, 'cause she's tough
You know, she really cleans up
What a fool I was to leave that man alone
