(With Lacy J. Dalton)
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
Oh, how long can we keep lying
And saying it isn't dying?
And someone has to 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
And 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
