Intro
The hours I spend, picking up after you. 
The thousands of socks, t-shirts, boxers and crap. 
All the popcorn and crisps that somehow miss your mouth. 
Your mess drives me crazy, and angry and tired.
But when you’re walking towards me, my heart starts to smile. 

Verse 1
How can you not, after all these years.
Know where everything goes, it’s perfectly clear.
That cups go with cups and that plates go with plates. 
And the bench in the hall aint the best storage place. 

Chorus 1
We both have bad habits, defects and faults. 
But I’m letting go of negative thoughts. 
And trying to focus on why I chose you. 
Remember the best bits and muddle on through. 

Verse 2
You always remember the stuff I forget. 
Like birthdays and phone bills and when we’re doing what. 
Yeah, you’re great at all of the stuff that I’m not. 
And I have to admit that you’re still pretty hot. 

Chorus 2
We all have bad habits, defects and faults. 
But along with the angry are some beautiful thoughts.
Like all of those reasons why he chose you. 
Remember the best bits. Muddle on through. 

Verse 3
Life’s hard these days and marriage is tough. 
In our busy lives, finding time for love. 
The years pass by and the spark starts to fade. 
Routine takes over, from carefree to mundane. 

Verse 4
But stop just a minute and imagine instead, 
Yourself all alone in that big double bed.
No socks to pick up, no cups in with plates. 
And remember how much you still love that face. 

Chorus
We both have bad habits, defects and faults.
But we’re letting go of negative thoughts. 
Why you chose me and I chose you. 
Let’s focus on that as we muddle on through.
