Clean
J.Lately Lyrics

Mr. Clean
Addressing a person named Mr. Clean

I'm not as sexy as he
Comparing oneself unfavorably to Mr. Clean, who is considered more attractive

Because he's everything that I wish I could be
Feeling inadequate in comparison to Mr. Clean's ideal qualities

And those jeans, they're as white as can be
Noticing and admiring Mr. Clean's pristine white jeans

So maybe I can put him in my daily routine
Contemplating incorporating Mr. Clean into one's daily life

If you were my genie, here's what I'd say
Hypothetically addressing Mr. Clean as a genie

I'd take my 3 wishes and I'd throw em away
Declining to make use of the standard three wishes granted by a genie

'Cause I don't really need em as long as you're here
Preferring the presence of Mr. Clean over any material gain

Making all the stains that I have disappear
Appreciating Mr. Clean's ability to eliminate stains

If you held me in your arms, I'd bet I’d feel safe, safe
Trusting Mr. Clean to provide a sense of security

All the problems in my life, you would magic erase er
Believing that Mr. Clean could magically solve all problems

Mr. Clean, I'm thinking that I should leave
Expressing desire to leave Mr. Clean's presence

Don't you look at me like that, hey, let go of me
Feeling uncomfortable and trapped in Mr. Clean's presence

Oh no please, don't you do this to me
Pleading with Mr. Clean to release them

Also, I think that I am getting a little dizzy
Feeling disoriented in Mr. Clean's presence

Why does my head hurt, wait where am I
Feeling confused and disoriented

I think I've been kidnapped by the cleanest of guys
Realizing that Mr. Clean's actions may be considered kidnapping

I've gotta do the best to find a way out of here
Feeling a sense of urgency to escape Mr. Clean's presence

'Cause Mr. Clean has brought me nothing but fear
Feeling afraid of Mr. Clean's actions

If you held me in your arms, I would try to escape, escape
Desiring to escape from Mr. Clean's perceived threat

Is the clean freak a bad dream, am I really awake, awake
Questioning the reality of the situation

I think I found the way for me to get out, freedom is the thing that I'm thinking about
Feeling hopeful about finding a way to escape

Did this really happen, he got me confused
Feeling uncertain about the validity of the situation

Thought it wasn't real 'cause he's just a commercial dude
Assuming that Mr. Clean's commercial persona is not reflective of reality

Mr. Clean, I saw you on my TV
Referencing Mr. Clean's commercial appearance

I thought that we could just be friends, but you kidnapped me
Feeling mislead by Mr. Clean's commercial persona

Mr. Clean, it's still so hard to believe
Expressing disbelief at the situation

That after every single thing, your jeans are white as can be
Noticing Mr. Clean's continued pristine state despite the situation
