Work In Progress

Okay, I forgot about the trash

I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache

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 and said to tell you

Please, just be patient

I'm a work in progress

I'm sorry I got mad for 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've 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 and said to tell you

Please, just be patient

I'm a work in progress

I know you meant well when you bought me those clogs

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

I'm sure they're stylish

But I'll take my boots

And I tried to do that health thing like you want me to do

But that low-fat and no-fat is 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 and 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
