"Don't break your back for me," she said
All these things we don't need and
Well, don't you recall mornings spent
Fighting over money, wishing we could run away
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Once we had just one room to share
But I'll work just as hard as if we didn't have any
Well, I'd relive the blunders and
And sacrifice the precious, useless
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
I could have given up hope
Babies that spit up kept us together
All of these luxuries we have
And whether we have them or not
We can still afford to be sentimental
'Bout times that try us, times that make us
Ties that bind us, and remind us
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
Washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
