A Clean Break (Let’s Work) Lyrics

[Intro]
One, two, three

[Verse 1]
Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

[Verse 2]
Even now we remember what we used to say
Takes a minute to wash that love away
Take a clean break, wash that love away (Ooh)

[Verse 3]
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away (Woo)

[Chorus]
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
And it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away

[Post-Chorus]
Oh ho, na na na na na na
Oh ho, babababababababababababababababa
Oh ho, na na na na na na
Oh ho

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1]
Just beginning to take that love away
Just beginning to take that love away
In a minute I'll wash that love away

[Verse 3]
Even now we remember what we used to say
Even now we remember what we used to say
We'd be together if we cut that love away (Ooh)

[Chorus]
It's a matter of degrees and
That's true, that's true
Loses its perspective when it's taken to extremes and
That's why we work so hard to
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away
Take that love away

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, na na na na na na
Oh ho, babababababababababababababababa
Oh ho, na na na na na na
Oh ho

About

This song bio is unreviewed

“We’ll be together if we wash that love away” as long as you keep washing away the slate then you can let the love grow again and again. Just make sure to work hard and harvest that crop ( and say sweet things that they used to say)

It’s about moving on an starting over on understandings and communication. “Taking love away” doesn’t mean abandoning but just moving it.
