F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
A clean up woman is a woman who
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
Gets all the love we girls leave behind
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
The reason I know so much about her
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
Is because she picked up a man of mine
[BRIDGE]
Am Dm
Chum-pin' slick was my ruin
Gm Bb C# C
'Cause, I found out all I was doing'...
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
Was making it easy for the clean up woman
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
To get my man's love/ oh yeah
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
Just making it easy for the clean up woman
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
To get my baby's love, uh-huh, um-hum
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
I took this man's love and put it a shelf
F Dm F Gm F F Dm F Gm F
And like a fool I thought I had him all to myself

When you needed love I was out having
