Clean up Woman - Betty Wright

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

Chumpin' Slick

Was my ruin

'Cause I found out all I was doin'

Was makin' it easy

For the clean up woman

To get my man’s love, oh, yeah

Just makin' it easy

For the clean up woman

To get my baby’s love, uh-huh

Mmm-hmm

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 he needed love, I was out havin' fun

But I found out all I had done

Was made it easy

For the clean up 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 to 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
