Simona Terron - Laundromath

I picked up your laundry today
It's in pretty good shape
All washed and clean, plastic wrapped
Now with me it's safe
Your socks and undies
Your purple t-shirt too
But strangely, looking at them
Just makes me feel a li'l blue
I really wish you hadn't left
Them behind
'Coz now they simply serve
To painfully remind
Me that I had a lot of fun
Snuggles, talking, laughing, kissing
But when all that's done
It's like something's missing
A void of some sort, a vacuum of some kind
Dammit boy, you're still on my mind

'Let's just be friends, ' I'm trying
To work that one out
But at the back of my mind
It's beyond the shadow of a doubt
That a blue Lacoste soaked
With sweat and perfume
Would have been perfect right now
To help me battle the gloom.
