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 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
