Many nights I've thought about it
Tried to find a way around it
Tried to make believe we're lovers
When the feeling's gone away

But it's a no win situation
A hopeless game we're playing
'Cause we both know it's over
But neither one will say

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye

When the bitter words are spoken
And all the promises are broken
When you realize the good times
Will never be again

How long can we keep lying
And saying it isn't dying
Someone has be the one
To say we've reached the end

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye
It's a dirty job...
