"Ironing Tuesdays" lyrics

"Don't break your back for me"
She said without hesitation
All these things we don't need and
Two saved up vacations
Well, don't you recall mornings spent half-naked in a fray?
Fighting over money, wishing we could run away

From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays

Once we had just one room to share
But now we have many
But I'll work just as hard as if
We didn't have any
Well I'd relive the blunders and mistakes that I've made
And sacrifice the precious, useless money that I've saved

From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays

And I could have given up hope and
We could have split up but
Boxes of laundry soap and
Babies that spit up
Kept us together

All of these luxuries we have
They're just ornamental
And whether we have them or not
We can still afford to be sentimental
'Bout times that try us, times that make us work just to survive
Ties that bind us, and remind us that we're still alive

Like washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Like washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Like washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Like washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays...
