I know that you have gone
But to me you linger on
'Cause i see you everywhere

Your footprints on the carpet
Your fingerprints on glasses
The bathroom sink still clogged up with your hair

You were messy from the day I met you
You even told me that you had no sense of smell
I'm so sorry that I ever tried to change you
I'm even sorrier that you said, "Go to hell"

I scrub and wash and dust but your memory lingers
Here in my heart your stains remain
And I'm afraid I'll never clean forget you
Please come back and mess me up again

When you split, well I started cleaning
I tried to lose myself in busiwork
But every little smudge just makes me think of you
Maybe you're right I guess I am an anal jerk

You were messy from the day I met you
You even told me that you had no sense of smell
I'm so sorry that I ever tried to change you
I'm even sorrier when you said, "Go to hell"

I scrub and wash and dust but your memory lingers
Here in my heart your stains remain
And I'm afraid I'll never clean forget you
Please come back and mess me up again

And I'm afraid I'll never clean forget you
Please come back and mess me up again
