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
Tough and slick was my ruin 'Cause I found out all I was doing 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, uh-huh, um-hum
I took this man's love and put it on a shelf And like a fool I thought I had him all to myself
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 woman To get my man's love, uh-huh 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' 24 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
