Album: Atlantic Gold: 100 Soul Classics
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 ah yeah
Just making it easy for the clean up woman
to get my baby's love ah hum, um hum
I took this man's love and put it a shelf
and like a fool I thought I had him all to myself
When ya 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 un huh,
yes that 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 of lovin 24 hours a day
The Clean up woman she'lll 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
