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
