Текст Kelly Rowland – Dirty Laundry

Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out

While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherfucker
I was enraged, feeling it like a motherfucker
Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
Went our separate ways, but I was happy she was killing it
Bittersweet, she was up, I was down
No lie, I feel good for her, but what do I do now?
Forget the records
Off the record, I was going through some bullshit
Post-survivor, she on fire, who wanna hear my bullshit?
Meanwhile, this nigga putting his hands on me
Swear y’all don’t know the half of this industry

Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

And it’s almost been a decade
I’m behind them black shades
Roll up like it’s all good, right up out that Escalade
Fix my make-up, «get it together, Kelly, get it together»
Then we make up, «well get it together, nigga, get it together»
Kinda lucky, I was in her shadow
Phone call from my sister, «what’s the matter?»
She said, «Oh no, baby — you gotta leave!»
I’m on the kitchen floor — he took the keys

Dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry-ry

So here I am in the spin cycle
We’re coming and we’re going
Nobody can know this
And I was trapped in his house, lying to my mama
Thought it could get no worse as we maximize the drama
Started to call them people on him
I was battered
He hitting the window like it was me, until it shattered
He pulled me out, he said, «Don’t nobody love you but me
Not your mama, not your daddy and especially not B»
He turned me against my sister
I missed you

Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
Let’s do this dirty laundry, this dirty laundry
When you’re soaked in tears for years, it never airs out
When you make pain look this good it never wears out
This dirty laundry, this dirty laundry

Love is pain and pain is love
He had me fucked up
Love is pain and pain is love
He had me fucked up
