“Took Out the Trash” lyrics
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Found your sweatshirt, put it in a bag
Found your hair gel, put it in a bag
Found your little skateboard and your weird guitar
Put 'em all together, drove 'em to your car
Left a sticky note that said "have a nice life"
Drew a little smiley, then I drew a knife
Kidding, it's a heart, I'm a gentle girl
I'm just cleaning up my world
And you thought I'd cry
And you thought I'd call
But I'm painting my nails
And I'm having a ball
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Put it on the curb and I'm on my way
Tuesday pickup, bye, bye, bye
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Bye, bye, bye
(Trash day)
Bye, bye, bye
Now my closet got the room for all my shoes
Now my bed got the room and I get to choose
Now my phone ain't ringing with the same old guy
Asking if I'm mad and he doesn't know why
Now my friends are back and my mama's glad
Now my skin is clear and the weather's not bad
Now I'm dancing in the kitchen in my socks
Honey, I'm the one who's hot
And you thought I'd cry
And you thought I'd call
But I'm painting my nails
And I'm having a ball
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Put it on the curb and I'm on my way
Tuesday pickup, bye, bye, bye
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Don't come back
Don't knock twice
Don't send flowers
I'm doing fine
Don't come back
Bye
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Put it on the curb and I'm on my way
Tuesday pickup, bye, bye, bye
Took out the trash, feeling light as a Friday
Bye, bye, bye
(Trash day)
Bye, bye, bye
