=====================================

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's back
in ninety three

Alright, I admit
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;
Seemed like hours,
you get all dressed up,
Just 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,
I'm startin' 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
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
just like you want me to do,
That low fat, no fat's
gettin' hard to chew.
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.
