I met you at the laundry mat washing your clothes You were washing your faces baby washing your nose You told me you'd been down this road You've had some highs, now you're on your lows Aleda, girl you look so lonely Lonely as can be Aleda, it sure is nice to meet ya Why won't you come with me Life is like a dry tumbling round Somedays you're up, somedays your down But when you mix colors like you do Your life starts out white and it turns out blue Aleda, girl you look so lonely Lonely as can be Aleda, it sure is nice to meet ya Why won't you come with me Aleda, girl you look so lonely Lonely as can be Aleda, it sure is nice to meet ya Why won't you come with me You're just a Buddhist in a laundry mat
