The Work

I'm sorry about the argument at the weekend I should have listened to what you said in the first place And that I should have been your friend But I finally tidied up the garage like you asked me I put some laundry on Both our clothes this time and not just mine 'Cause we've both been doing our best Skirting 'round the edges of perfect Darling, I know this It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it I've been brushing up on your family tree for the party I'll get your cousins, your half cousins and your step cousins The right way around this time But I promise to remember to bring you tea in the morning To heed your warnings about when I'm about to cross the line 'Cause we've both been doing our best Skirting 'round the edges of perfect Darling, I know this It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it 'Cause I did my fair share of the rock'n'roll Three minutes and Fifteen seconds version of love But me I always needed the B sides And not just the best of I saw fireworks aplenty when I met you But now we've worked to build this into a fire I don't want to burn out any more I want to visit the coast in Kent with you On a weekday afternoon when we're both retired 'Cause we've both been doing our best Skirting 'round the edges of perfect Darling, I know this It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it It's the work that makes it worth it The work won't make it perfect But the work will makes it worth it
