Dirty laundry lyrics Kelly Rowland

Dirty laundry

Mh, mh
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

While my sister was on stage, killing it like a motherfucker
I was in rage, feeling it like a motherfucker
Bird in a cage, you would never know what I was dealing with
Went our seperate 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 know?
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 that escalade
Fix my make up, get it together, Kelly, get it together
Then we make up, well et 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
I was mad at everybody, I mean everybody, yeah... everybody
Five years later, I got my shit down pat
Think I had it good and they don't know how bad
Fooled everybody, except myself
Soaking in this hurt, bathing in the dirt

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

So here I am in this spin cycle, we coming and we going, nobody can notice
And I was trapped in his house, lying to my momma
Thought it could get no worse as we maximized 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 momma, not your daddy and especially not Bey"
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 lovers, and we fucked up
Love is pain and pain is lovers, and we fucked up
