Pretty eyes, but I never even noticed the color,
Just didn't seem to matter underneath the covers.
The shape of her body doesn't mean all that much.
Her name escapes me now, but I'll always recognize that touch.

Little details often get by me.
If my memory fails, blame it on my ADD.
But tonight, when we're done, she's gonna need some rest.
Cause in the morning, there's gonna be a test.

I need her help to get going every day.
I get easily distracted and sometimes I lose my way.
I can read, I can write, I can hold down a conversation anywhere.
But if she don't get what I'm about, she still knows that I care.

Little details often get by me.
I think it's something I inherited from my family tree.
I may forget lots of things, but I won't forget her caress.
I'll be ready in the morning, when there's gonna be a test.

Places and faces often get by me.
I try to focus on one thing, but I drift to two or three.
It takes a woman like her to put up with this man, I'm a mess.
Don't wanna let her down tomorrow, there's gonna be a test.

In the morning, there's gonna be a test.

I'll be ready, when there's gonna be a test.
