How Dirty Girls Get Clean
[Verse 1]
I’ve lost my mind, yeah
I’ve lost control
I’ve lost the feeling in my arms
I’m a lost soul
[Verse 2]
Make the most of me, baby
Oh, don’t spit me out
This is how dirty girls get clean
Don’t leave me now
[Verse 3]
Listen to her lust, yeah
Hear her disgrace
Listen to the fragile things
As they all break
[Verse 4]
Watch from the covers
The comfort of your home
Through the ice and sleet, baby
Oh, down, down we go
[Pre-Chorus]
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, how’d you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
[Verse 5]
And I wanted you
Like no one before
Said "you’re coming back for me, honey"
This is how Hell forms
[Verse 6]
This is how a storm begins
This is how trouble’s born
Listen to her sleep, yeah
Listen to her wail
[Verse 7]
You’ve given birth to terrible things
Watch them unveil
Listen to my torment
Listen to my pain
Please come on back here, baby
Let me try again
[Pre-Chorus]
What angry star
Runs your devil heart?
What angry star
Runs your devil heart?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, how’d you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
[Verse 8]
And the rain, it poured down
And the wind, it moaned
And she wrapped her legs around him
And she’s got no home
[Verse 9]
And he’s looking at me
Oh god he looks so dumb
What are you staring at?
This is how it’s done
[Verse 10]
I will define for you
The meaning of greed
While you were vanishing
This dirty girl got clean
[Pre-Chorus]
What angry star runs your devil heart?
What angry star runs your devil heart?
[Chorus]
Oh, oh, how’d you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh, oh, how’d you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
Oh, oh, how’d you get so mean?
This is the only way d-dirty girls stay clean
