They love dirty laundry 


D5                                
Well I could have been an actor but I wound up here 
G5 
I just have to look good, I don't have to be clear

Get the widow on the set 
D5 
We need dirty laundry 
 

A5                                G5 
You don't really need to find out what's going on 
F5                             C5             D5 
You don't really want to know just how far it's gone 
C5                      G5 
Just leave well enough alone 
D5 
Eat your dirty laundry

Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies 
F5                                  C5           D5 
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody's pies

F5                          C5                  D5 
When it's said and done we haven't told you a thing
