In The Wash

This year
I lost a family
Lost ‘em in the wash

Sometimes the best intentioned chores
Yield the greatest loss
‘Cause some things are worth so much more
So much more than they cost

But others cost you dearly
And the debt cannot be paid
But don’t let that stop you, baby

Yes, others cost you dearly
And the debt cannot be paid
But don’t let that stop you, baby
Don’t let it make you afraid

Don’t let it make you afraid

This year I lost a husband
Lost him to my grip
I’ve always felt I had the weakest hands
But he felt different

Sometimes the self you know
Is not the one with whom your love is intimate

Well lovers cost you dearly
And the debt is requisite
But don’t let that stop you, baby

Yes lovers cost you dearly
And the debt is requisite
But don’t let that stop you, baby
Don’t let it make you quit

Don’t let it make you quit

Don’t let it make you quit
