The Lyrics

Part of my "Blame It on the Whiskey" self-challenge. It's good to be clean, I know, but it's still possible to take the piss with it, you feel me?
I can get why you're averse to dirt
Was once a slob, swore to never be worse
Livin' life in a bad smell would be a form of hell
Try my hardest here to live right
Minimise the regret at daylight
At what I didn't finish last night
Hence why the roommate ad I sent has "be clean" within
But the first day you came up to your new place
Your nose wrinkled so high, narrowed your gaze
Thought that was weird but hey, I missed a stain
Of sauce on my shirt

But since you've been here, I can't sleep
Stay up all night scrubbin' on your knees
You're too neat for me
You're too neat for me
Hate to use the word "freak"
But I'm afraid that it fits, you see
You're too neat for me
You're too neat for me

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And I know that it's true it could be worse, no joke
Some roommates are way too quick to go
Makin' me the one to get the jobs done, that blows
But I still don't want the big headaches
From all the overdone detergent sprays
And the next time I fall right on my face
'Cause you took the time to mop as the floor dried off
I swear that I'll take your borin'-ass, clean-shaven face
And use it to wipe the used shower grate
Your cleanliness ain't godly, it's just insane
Drivin' me crazed

Sure, this place may be cobweb-free
And there's no scum in the fridge to see
You're too neat for me
You're too neat for me
It's temptin' me to freak
And track in mud until your eyes bleed
You're too neat for me
You're too neat for me

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

The goal is good but please
Stop scrubbin' like it gains you XP
You're too neat for me
You're too neat for me

And with this, Hozier is in second place for "longest gap between United State of Pop entries" with it being 10 years since Take Me to Church got in the 2014 mix. First place, for the record, is Beyoncé with a 12 year gap between Telephone and Break My Soul.
