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 penny 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.
