[Verse 1]
"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

[Chorus]
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays
From washing Saturdays and ironing Tuesdays

[Bridge]
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
