The Pretenders

Clean Up Woman

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
