I've Been Workin'

I’ve been working on being so much kinder
Like you, baby, baby like you
And I’ve been working on being more forgiving
Like you, baby, baby like you
Trapped in my “mull it over” lair
Slumped in my procrastinator chair
Thinking ‘bout a book I’ll probably never write
Not seeing even as I sit and stare
I’ve been working on having more faith
Like you, baby, baby like you
And I’ve been working on enjoying the simple things
Like you, baby, baby like you
I say too many words for my own good
Go overboard to be understood
Regret most everything, even things I don’t regret
Can’t drive a car without a peek under the hood
I’ve been working on being slow to anger
Like you baby, baby like you
Can’t see the forest for the trees
Things aren’t always as deep as I perceive
But I’m diggin’ a hole and I won’t stop until I go
Upside down where they’re speakin’ in Chinese, yeah
Like you, baby, like you
Like you, baby, like you
Got my theories about serving God and loving Man
I’ve got me a map and I’ve got me a little plan
I’ll start by pretending to love someone I can’t
Maybe as time goes on I’ll find I can
I’ve been working on being more light hearted
Like you, baby, baby like you…
