I'm gonna wash
that man right out of my hair
and send him on his way.
I'm gonna wave that man right out
of my arm s
And send him on his way
Don't try to patch it up
Tear it up, tear it up
Wash him out, dry him out
Push him out, fly him out
Cancel him
And let him go
Hey, sister
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right outta my hair
And send him on his way
If the man don't understand you,
if you fly on separate beams,
Waste no time, make a change,
ride that man right off your range,
Rub him out of the roll call,
and drum him out of your dreams.
If you laugh at different comics,
if you root for different teams,
Waste no time, weep no more,
show him what the door is for
Rub him out of the roll call
and drum him out of your dreams
You can't light a fire
when the wood's all wet
You can't make a butterfly strong
You can't fix an egg
when it ain't quite good
And you can't fix a man
when he's wrong
You can't put back a petal
when it falls from a flower
Or sweeten up a fellow
when he starts turning sour
Oh no, oh no
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair
And send him on his way
I'm gonna wave that man
right outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right
outta my arms
I'm gonna wave that man
right outta my arms
And send him on his way
Don't try to patch it up,
tear it up, tear it up
Wash him out, dry him up,
push him out, fly him out
Cancel him and let him go
Hey, sister
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair.
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair
I'm gonna wash that man
right out of my hair
and send him on his way
