Takes a little elbow grease and some spit shine
Gonna take a little more than that to fix this heart of mine
But you're a handyman, you got the tools
Won't you make it so my heart don't ache and I ain't nobody's fool
You measure twice before you make the cut
Sharpen up the knife so it won't hurt too much
You're a handyman, you learn your trade
Won't you make it so my heart don't ache, make it strong and unafraid
And I hope you change your mind, oh try
And I hope you change my mind, won't you try
And I hope you change your mind, oh try
And I hope you change my mind, won't you try?
A rock came tumbling down the mountainside
And we got in the river and we went down seven times
We held on tight as the current dragged us down
Just me and you and the river and no one else around
What about the time outside the VFW hall?
You swore your love for me was different from them all
And we danced real close and I held on tight
Pretty people on the dance floor swaying
And the band played into the night
And I hope you change your mind, oh try
And I hope you change my mind, won't you try
And I hope you change your mind, oh try
And I hope you change my mind, won't you try?
