The clean up woman is the 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
Jumpin' slick was my ruin
'Cause I found out that all I was doin'
Was to make it easy for the clean up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh yeah
Oh yes, 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 the shelf
And like a fool I thought I had him all to myself
Bridge:
When he needed lovin' I was out havin' fun
But I found out that all I had done
Was to make it easy for the clean up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh yeah
Oh yes I was makin' it good and easy
For that dirty, sneaky clean up woman
To steal my man's love away, oh yeah
(Repeat Bridge)
Clean up woman
She'll wipe his blues away
She'll give him plenty of love love lovin'
Twenty four hours a day
Clean up woman
She'll sweep him off his feet
She's the one that'll take him in
When you dump the man in the street
So take a tip, you better get hip
To that clean up woman 'cause she's tough
You know she really cleans up
What a fool I was to leave that man alone
Runnin' out every night
To those women's liberation meetings
But I found out
While I was out raisin' my consciousness
That man was at home a-raisin' somethin' else.....
