"Work In Progress" lyrics

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, waiting in the truck
It seemed like hours, you getting 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 sinking in
But I probably need to reread 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 getting hard to chew
Now, I love your cooking, 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
