CLEAN IT UP

The ringing of the telephone
Machine says sorry nobody's home
Her sweet voice cries I'm so alone
When are you coming home
The sound of the dialtone

Clean it up - throw it all away
Clean it up - wash my hands
Clean it up - throw it ll away - Clean it up

The letters of the lawyers they fly by night
He said, you wanted it - now you got a fight
Even the judge agrees nobody's right
Why can't they see the light
They got their hearts shut tight

Clean it up - throw it all away
Clean it up - wash my hands
Clean it up - throw it ll away - Clean it up

Once upon a time there was a love affair
Nothing's ever right when you're not there
All I wanted to do was care
The letters promised I'll be there
And now the page is bare

Years later walking down the avenue
Husbands and wives say how do you do
He's thinking how did I lose you
I had a love so true - She things the same thing too

Clean it up - throw it all away
Clean it up - wash my hands
Clean it up - throw it ll away - Clean it up
