Work In Progress

Okay I forgot about the trash

I didn't trim the long hairs on my moustache

I did buy you a ring; I believe it was back in '93

Alright I admit it; I forgot our anniversary

I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery

That ain't no big thing; It's a gold star for me

You get tired and disgusted with me

When I can't be just what you want me to be

I still love you and I try real hard

I swear one day you'll have a brand new car

I even asked the Lord to try to help me:

He looked down from Heaven said to tell you please;

Just be patient I'm a work in progress

I'm sorry I got mad waitin' in the truck;

It seemed like hours you gettin' all dressed up

Just to go to Shoney's on a Wednesday night

I read that book you gave me about Mars and Venus;

I think it's sinkin' in but I probably need to re read it

But I'm starting to see now what you been saying is right

You get tired and disgusted with me

When I can't be just what you want me to be

I still love you and I try real hard

I swear one day you'll have a brand new car

I even asked the Lord to try to help me:

He looked down from Heaven said to tell you please;

Just be patient I'm a work in progress

I know you meant well when you bought gave me those clogs

But my heels get hot down by the muffler on my hog

I'm sure they're stylish but I'll take my boots

I try to do that health thing like you want me to do

That low-fat no fat's gettin' hard to chew

Now I love your cookin' honey

But sometimes I need some real food

You get tired and disgusted with me

When I can't be just what you want me to be

I still love you and I try real hard

I swear one day you'll have a brand new car

I even asked the Lord to try to help me:

He looked down from Heaven said to tell you please;

Just be patient I'm a work in progress

Oh honey just be patient now

I'm a work in progress

Oh I need a major tune up

Maybe a full body-off restoration
