Okay, I forgot about the trash
I didn't trim the long hairs on my mustache
I didn't buy you a ring
I believe it was back in '93

Alright, I admit it, I forgot our anniversary
But I did pick up the baby this morning at the nursery
That ain't no big thing
But it's a gold star for me

You get tired and disgusted with me
But 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 'bout 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
But 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 healthy thing like you want me to do
But that low-fat, 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
But 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
