"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.

Jumpin` 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, aww, yeah.
Just makin` it easy for the clean up woman To get my baby`s love, huh-huh.

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 that all I had done
Was made it easy for the clean up woman
To get my man`s love, huh-huh. Yeah, that`s what I did:
I made it easy for the clean up woman To steal my baby`s love, aw, 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.
