Lyrics
Just before I go, I'm gonna put the thermostat on HIGH.
I'm not watering your plants, I hope that they all die
and I'm setting all the clocks an hour slow.
I'll get the vacuum cleaner out and leave it in the hall,
I'll turn the toilet paper so it hangs down by the wall.
You're always on my case 'cause you want everything just so -
well, I'm putting a few things in order just before I go.
Just before I go, I'm washing all of your white shirts with my red socks.
I'll finish up the cornflakes and put back the empty box,
and where I hid the remote, you'll never know.
I'm gonna leave my lipstick on your favorite coffee cup;
I'm loading the dishwasher with the forks all pointing up.
Everything I do is wrong, you always tell me so,
so I'm putting a few things in order just before I go.
I just want myself back; I'm hardly taking anything.
If you unscrew the sink-trap, you can have back my wedding ring.
Someone should have told you that you reap just what you sow -
so I'm putting a few things in order just before I go.
Just before I go, I'll shut the cat inside your study just for kicks.
I'm tuning your clock-radio to Country 96,
and I'll crank it up as loud as it'll go.
I won't take out the trash, I'll leave the cupboards all ajar,
as a final touch, I'll lock your keys inside your car.
Now I've got a bus to catch, it's time for me to blow -
but I'm putting a few things in order just before I go.
Now I've got my suitcase packed,
I'm putting on that dress you hate,
I'm wearing my new cowboy boots,
and man, they make my legs look great.
I didn't really need you, but I was the last to know -
now I'm putting a few things in order -
now I'm heading for the border -
putting a few things in order just before I go.
