Dirty Laundry lyrics
by Don Henley
[Verse 1]
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
[Chorus: Nick Carter & ABSHA]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Ah
[Verse 2]
Got the bubble-headed bleached-blonde, comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
[Chorus: Nick Carter & ABSHA]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
[Post-Chorus]
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're down
[Verse 3]
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the innuendo, we can dance and sing
When it's said and done, we haven't showed you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry
[Chorus: Nick Carter & ABSHA]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em all around
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
[Bridge]
Hey, yeah, hey
Ooh, they can't weigh down, they can't weigh down
I know you feel it, I know you feel it
You gotta kick with doubt
You gotta kick 'em with doubt
You gotta kick 'em when you're down, yeah, oh
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry (C'mon, yeah)
[Chorus: Nick Carter & ABSHA]
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Kick 'em when they're up
Kick 'em when they're down
Dirty laundry, dirty laundry
