Hang Me Up to Dry Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
In the muck and the mire
Careless in our summer clothes splashing around
In the muck and the mire


[Bridge]
Fell asleep with stains
Caked deep in the knees
What a pain


[Chorus]
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out
Too, too, too many times

Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white
The whites of your eyes


[Verse 2]
All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors
All mixed up in the wash
Hot water bleeding our colors


[Chorus]
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out
Too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white
The whites of your eyes
[Chorus]
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out
Too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white
The whites of your eyes

[Outro]
Now hang me up to dry
You wrung me out
Too, too, too many times
Now hang me up to dry
I'm pearly like the white
The whites of your eyes
