A J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im not as sexy as he
Because hes everything that I
Wish I could be
And those jeans
They're as white as can be
So maybe I can put him in my
Daily Routine
Here's what I'd say
I'd take my 3 wishes
And i'd throw em away
Cause I dont really need em
As long as youre here
Making all the stains that I have disappear
If you held me in your arms
Id bet id feel safe, safe
All the problems in my life
You would magic erase er
Mr. clean
Im thinking that I should leave
Don't you look at me like that
Hey, Let go of me
Oh no please
Don't you do this to me
Also I think that I am getting
A little dizzy
Why does my head hurt
Wait where am I
I think ive been kidnapped by the cleanest of guys
I've gotta do the best to find a way out of here
Because Mr clean has brought me nothing but fear
If you held me in your arms
I would try to escape, escape
Is the clean freak a bad dream
Am I really awake, awake
I think i found the way for me to get out
Freedom is the thing that im thinking about
Did this really happen, he got me confused
Thought it wasnt real cause hes just a commercial dude
Mr clean
I saw you on my TV
I thought that we could just be friends
But you kidnapped me
Mr clean
Its still so hard to believe
That after every single thing
Your jeans are white as can be
How
The lyrics of "Clean" by A J depict a story of a person who idolizes Mr. Clean, both in terms of his physical appearance and his ability to make things spotless. The person compares themselves to Mr. Clean, feeling inferior and wishing they could be as attractive and perfect as him. They fantasize about Mr. Clean being their genie, but ultimately realize that they don't need any wishes because having Mr. Clean in their life would make all their problems and stains disappear.
However, the tone of the lyrics takes a dark turn in the second verse. The person starts questioning their situation and realizing that they may have been kidnapped by Mr. Clean. They feel a sense of fear and confusion, wondering why their head hurts and where they are. They express their desire to escape and find freedom from Mr. Clean's control.
The lyrics play with the contrast between the admiration and desire to be like Mr. Clean in the first verse and the fear and desire to escape from him in the second verse. It suggests that sometimes our idols or desires may not be as perfect or desirable as they initially seem.

I've gotta do the best to find a way out of here
I must make every effort to escape from this situation
Because Mr clean has brought me nothing but fear

I would try to escape, escape
I would attempt to break free
Is the clean freak a bad dream
Is this obsessive personification of cleanliness a dreadful nightmare
Am I really awake, awake
Am I truly conscious and aware
I think i found the way for me to get out
I believe I have discovered a means of escape
Freedom is the thing that im thinking about
Being liberated is the foremost thought in my mind
Did this really happen, he got me confused
Did this truly occur, he has left me perplexed
Thought it wasnt real cause hes just a commercial dude
Believed it wasn't genuine because he is merely a figure from advertisements
I saw you on my TV
I observed you while watching television
I thought that we could just be friends
I assumed we could simply have a friendly relationship
But you kidnapped me
However, you coerced me into captivity
Its still so hard to believe
It remains difficult to accept
That after every single thing
Despite everything that has occurred
Your jeans are white as can be
Your denim trousers remain perfectly clean
