Take me out like dirty laundry
With my guilt-stained knees and wrinkle worries
Pour some bleach into my quarries
Soak me in that soapy water
Break down all my brick and mortar
Fold me up at the corners
I'm not gonna part with you like you're some autumn sweater
'Cause of a change in the weather
If mending makes a hole whole again
Why do I keep on pullin' and pullin' and unraveling?
Soak me in that soapy water
Put some dryer sheets into my gutter
Lose the stain, but not the color
I'm not gonna part with you like you're some autumn sweater
'Cause of a change in the weather
Dirty laundry coming clean
