Honey-Do List

[Verse 1] She handed me a list on Saturday morning Coffee in one hand, honey-do warning Number one said fix the bathroom door I grabbed my tools and I was ready for war But she bent down to pick up the cat And I just stood there holding a wrench like that Thirty minutes gone, door still broken I ain't even mad, I ain't even joking [Chorus] Honey-do, honey-do There's a list of things I'm supposed to get through But honey, when you walk through the room like you do The only thing I'm doing is looking at you [Verse 2] Number two said clean the gutters out I set the ladder up, started climbing about She came outside in a summer dress I missed the rung and I'm a certified mess Hanging from the roof like a fool in love She said "Baby are you okay up above?" I said "Yes ma'am, just checking the view" The only thing I'm checking, Katalin, is YOU [Chorus] Honey-do, honey-do There's a list of things I'm supposed to get through But honey, when you walk through the room like you do The only thing I'm doing is looking at you [Bridge - Spoken] Now this list is fourteen items long And it is (counting) four in the afternoon I have completed ZERO The bathroom door is still broken The gutters are full The kitchen faucet is now WORSE And I have never been happier in my entire life [Verse 3] Number seven said paint the bedroom wall I got the roller out, taped up the hall She walked in wearing my old t-shirt Katalin, baby, that ought to be a CRIME I got more paint on me than on the wall She just shook her head and said "Give me that, y'all" Finished the whole room in an hour flat I just sat there thinking "How'd she do THAT?" [Final Chorus] Honey-do, honey-do She finished everything on the whole dang list Turns out the real handyman around here Is five foot something with a ponytail twist Honey-do, honey-do I'm useless and I'm totally fine She married a man who can't fix a thing But baby I'm all yours and you're all mine [Outro - Spoken] She just handed me next week's list It's two pages (laughing) I'm going to get NOTHING done And it's going to be BEAUTIFUL
