Capo on first Intro: That lipstick on your collar well it ain’t my shade of pink    And I can tell by the smell of that perfume it’s like forty dollars too cheap    And there’s a little wine stain on the pocket of your white cotton thread    Well you drink beer and whiskey boy and you know I don’t drink red    Found it over in the corner wadded up on the bedroom floor    You shoulda hid it in the closet you shoulda burned it you shoulda lost it    Now I’ma have to hang you out to dry dry dry    Clothespin all your secrets to the line line line    Leave ’em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you    All those midnights sneaking in "I’m late again oh I’m so sorry"    All the Ajax in the world ain’t gonna clean your dirty laundry    If the neighbors get to asking I won’t cover nothin’ up    I’ll tell ’em every little detail how you drug me through the mud    I’m gonna string up your old button-down and slide it on the porch    Just in case you get the nerve to come knockin’ on my door    Yeah I’ma have to hang you out to dry dry dry    Clothespin all your secrets to the line line line    Leave ’em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you    All those midnights sneaking in "I’m late again oh I’m so sorry"    All the Ajax in the world ain’t gonna clean your dirty laundry         Found it over in the corner wadded up on the bedroom floor    You shoulda hid it in the closet you shoulda burned it you shoulda lost it    Now I’ma have to hang you out to dry dry dry    Clothespin all your secrets to the line line line    Leave ’em blowing in the wind just say goodbye to you    All those midnights sneaking in "I’m late again oh I’m so sorry"    All the Ajax in the world ain’t gonna clean your dirty laundry    (Out to dry)    (To the line)

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une femme qui découvre les infidélités de son partenaire à travers des indices troublants, comme un rouge à lèvres qui n’est pas le sien et une tache de vin sur ses vêtements. Elle se rend compte que ses mensonges et ses tromperies sont bien trop nombreux pour être ignorés. Ainsi, elle décide de le confronter et de ne pas passer sous silence ses trahisons, se promettant de dévoiler toute la vérité et de ne pas couvrir ses secrets. La métaphore de suspendre le linge sale au grand jour illustre sa volonté de mettre fin à cette relation destructrice en révélant tout ce qu’elle a découvert.
