Clean Up Woman

The Pretenders · Loose screw [2002]

I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess



Women think men belong in resorts

We watch the children they watch the sports

A man wouldn't help us even if he could

While we clean up the mess he's made of the neighborhood



I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess



Women refuse to witness the kill

Of man's safaris and his battles of will

She washes the wound he sustains in his fight

She cradles him in her arms all night



Woman is there at the end of the day

She works as hard as a man can play

She carries the blame she doesn't deserve

She bears his name when he loses his nerve



I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the cleaning woman, here to clean up your mess

I'm the clean up woman, here to clean up your mess



Here to clean up your mess

Here to clean up your mess
