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 a man of mine
pre
jumpin’ slick was my ruin
’cause i found out all i was doin’
was making it easy for the clean up woman
to get my man’s love oh yeah
just making it easy for the clean up woman
to get my baby’s love uhhuh mhm
i took this man’s love and put it on a shelf
and like a fool i thought i had him all to myself
pre
when you needed love i was out having fun
but i found out that all i had done
was made it easy for the clean up woman
to get my man’s love uhhuh
yeah that’s what i did i made it easy for the clean up woman
to steal my baby’s love oh yeah
the clean up woman will wipe his blues away
she’ll give him plenty lovin’ 4 hours a day
the clean up woman she’ll sweep him off his feet
she’s the one who’ll take him in when you dump him in the street
so take a tip you better get hip
to the clean up woman ’cause she’s tough
i mean she really cleans up
