I Gotta Clean Up

I
Oh, men! I almost lost her;
I am glad she gave another chance.
My friends - I got something I want to say and,
I want everybody to listen to me good.
You know that everybody who knows me
Knows that I have a good wife;
She does not drink, party, gamble, or smoke;
That is, the kind of woman every man wants - it is not
that right?
And me? Everybody knows I am not that good
Drinking, gambling, I mean - just messing around with
other woman;
I do not even deserve her.
Ooh, I am such a lucky man - yes, I am;
However, this morning when I came home - she gave me a
choice;
She said me, or the road;
Let me tell you all what I have decided - if you do not
mind,
I hope you will understand it.
I got to clean up what I messed up
Start my life over again
I am going to clean up (yes, I have);
What I messed up,
Start my life over again.
(Ooh, hear me you all)
I made up my mind; I am not cheating no more
If I do not stop - she might let me go
I got to clean up what I messed up (Ooh)
Start my life over again
(Ooh, hear me you all)
I am going to clean up, what I messed up
Start my life over again
(Ooh, hear me you all)
I made up my mind - I am not gambling no more
Losing all of our money, I just have to go
I got to clean up what I messed up (yes, I have)
Start my life over again
I am going to clean up what I messed up
Start my life over again
Everybody listen - I made up my mind
I am not laying any more - cause if I do,
I will have to go
I got to clean up, what I messed up
Start my life over again
I am trying to tell you that
I am going to clean up, what I messed up
Start my life over again
Ooh, listen to me good
Spoken Words II
All you women out there,
Who happened to be a single;
Nope, you did do nothing wrong - nothing at all
I just cannot see you no more
I got to make the change.
You see - listen, I am tired of doing wrong - yes I am,
I am going to do right from now on;
May be there is someone else out there
Who done wrong, and want to do right.
Well, here is your chance - would it be you,
Or would it be both of you?
Let me ask you something, can I?
Have you did somebody wrong? (Ooh, yes)!
Have lied on somebody? (Ooh, yes)!
Have you cheated on somebody? (Ooh, yes)!
Do you stay out all night (Ooh, yes)!
Gambling; partying all night long - huh? (Ooh, yes)!
Do you spend too much money on gambling, and (Ooh,
yes)!
Cannot even pay your bills about food for the children
to eat?
Do you - tell me? (Ooh, yes)!
Spoken Words III
Now, I believe that some of you out there
Got a good wife or a good husband at home;
Why do not you just say this to yourself?
I am going to clean up, what I messed up,
Start my life over again
I am going to clean up (say it to yourself)
What I messed up (it is all you got to do)
Start my life over again
I have got to clean up - ooh,
what I messed up (Ooh, yes)!
Start my life over again (Ooh, yes)! No more party for Marvin (Ooh, yes)
I am going to clean up what I messed up
No more gambling
Start my life over again (Ooh, yes)
No more staying out all night long
I am going to clean up what I messed up
No more messing around with other people...
If I can do - you can do too; I know you can
All you got to do is - say to yourself
I am going to clean up what I messed up
