Beaver Nelson - Clean It Up Lyrics

Thanks for coming, thanks for showing
Thanks for making the whole thing glowing
You lit the room; you brought it down
You built it back with toasts unbound
We said that smiles were just a must
I stomped the stopwatch into dust
Now, I'll have to clean it up by myself

I knew you, I knew him
Long before I asked you in
I don't mind the mess got made
I got to ride in the big parade
But tickertape must someday land
I'm still smiling, broom in hand

I'll have to clean it up by myself
Yeah, I'll just clean it up by myself
I ain't asking around for no help, no
I'll just clean it up by myself

I know it's too late; they just were leaving
There'll be time enough for grieving
Go to bed dear this ain't your mess
I never even noticed that dress
I'll pick the bottles up tonight
I'll empty the ashtrays in daylight
I'll just clean it up by myself

So drive careful where you're going
Send me a postcard overflowing
Don't mind the tears, it's just the meaning
Was worth every bit the cleaning
And if you're ever back this way
We'll make a mess again someday

I'll just clean it up by myself
I'll be happy to clean it up by myself
I won't be asking around for no help, no
I'll just clean it up by myself
