lyrics
I saw her standing
between the washers and dryers
She saw me staring
so I looked at some flyers
Then she approached me
to ask for a quarter
I gave her a handful
in an effort to court her
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
Her beauty so delicate
that it would be washed separate
I could soften my fabric
or would that just seem desperate
The Bold with the Snuggle
and Cheer all their Gain
the cold did a slow Tide
just Whisk away their pain
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
When I saw her
my heart beat
like an unbalanced load
She could be my princess
and I would be her toad
She's suddenly leaving
in her arms was a basket
My question unfolded
but I did not ask it
That's how I lost her
as a sock lost its mate
but the cycle's still spinning
It's never too late
We were two people doing laundry on a Friday night
between the washers and dryers
She saw me staring
so I looked at some flyers
Then she approached me
to ask for a quarter
I gave her a handful
in an effort to court her
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
Her beauty so delicate
that it would be washed separate
I could soften my fabric
or would that just seem desperate
The Bold with the Snuggle
and Cheer all their Gain
the cold did a slow Tide
just Whisk away their pain
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
We had a laundromat love affair
just standing there
watching our underwear
fly through the air
When I saw her
my heart beat
like an unbalanced load
She could be my princess
and I would be her toad
She's suddenly leaving
in her arms was a basket
My question unfolded
but I did not ask it
That's how I lost her
as a sock lost its mate
but the cycle's still spinning
It's never too late
We were two people doing laundry on a Friday night
