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

 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
