My Patience, She's a Virtue (Cover) 1

[Verse 1] Ooooh yeah, my Patience — she’s a virtue, Waits so calm, won’t raise her voice. She takes delays like she meant to, Never argues, never makes a fuss or noise. [Chorus] No, she’s not messin’ around, Don’t test her, not on this side of town. So stop the mess, mess, messin’ around — Patience is a virtue, someday her crown. [Verse 2] I’ve made a pile of promises, And more than a few mistakes. She doesn’t shout, just talks through it, She always gives and never takes. [Chorus] No, she’s not messin’ around, Don’t test her, not on this side of town. So stop the mess, mess, messin’ around — Patience is a virtue, someday her crown. [Verse 3] What a character she is — such virtue! My Patience has the rarest traits. I torture her with all my ballyhoo, Yet still she stays, she waits. [Bridge] Her courage to take me on Has blessed and taught me well. She loved me through it all — And pulled me from myself. [Instrumental Break – light guitar solo] [Outro – Spoken] No, she’s not messin’ around, Don’t test her, not on this side of town. So stop the mess, mess, messin’ around — Patience is a virtue, someday her crown.
