Lyrics
The Rinse Cycle of Life B. Ropiak
I gave you all my quarters, I gave you detergent so white.
I let you use my laundry basket,
When I met you on the rinse cycle of life.
Please don?t let the colors fade,
Remember the promises you?ve made.
Darling, give me one more try,
Please don?t hang me out to dry.
You made my whites as white as snow,
All my colors seemed to glow.
You pressed and starched my favorite shirt.
But now you treat me just like dirt.
You really put me to the test,
My life?s become a wrinkled mess.
Honey come back honey please,
And when you do don?t forget the bleach.
