Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wet the washcloth to rub off the dirt on my feet
God forbid, I should ruin your nice white sheets, God forbid
I take my clothes off, but leave a layer underneath
As if I would ever let you see me as God intended
[Chorus]
I lie perfectly still so I don't mess up my hair
I'm a sanitized girl, I clean up for you, my dear
And these pure, pretty thrills grow stillborn in the air
It's a sanitized world, how could anything grow here?
[Verse 2]
I wash my mouth out, I'm bad and I have no excuse
Tell me, can you taste the residue? Tell me, can you?
I should be clean now, in the car, on the way to your house
Scrubbed my skin beyond the shadow of a doubt, still, the doubt
[Chorus]
I lie perfectly still so I don't mess up my hair
I'm a sanitized girl, I clean up for you, my dear
And these pure, pretty thrills grow stillborn in the air
It's a sanitized world, how could anything grow here?
[Bridge]
Perhaps I misunderstood love
Oh, I've thrown out our baby in the bathtub water
There goes our daughter, ah-mmm (Whoops)
There goes our daughter, ah-mmm
