Praise And Recognition ( A )

from Praise And Recognition EP by The Elbow Patches

lyrics

She's tried out all the latest hairstyles
Nobody notices or smiles
She wears the outfits she knows fit best
That all the magazines suggest

She is the one handing compliments out
But she never gets them in return
Maybe her words do not have any clout?
Oh how people love to spurn

She's eating well so she can stay slim
And always going to the gym
The mirror tells her she's deserving
But she could never trust that thing

Beauty is power is what she's always heard
That's why she feels so powerless
She is in need of a flattering word
So she buys another gorgeous dress

She would love some praise and recognition
For the way she looks
Not just for her sweet disposition
Or the way that she cooks

Average women get called beauties
She wonders if it's more a tease
She tells herself she does not mind
Could be they're only being kind

Maybe they think that it's something she hears
Many times throughout the day
And she's sick of it all after all of these years
So it's something they don't need to say

She would love some praise and recognition
For the way that she looks
Not just for her sweet disposition
Or her collection of books
She would love some praise and recognition
For the way that she looks
Not just for her sweet disposition
Or that she loves Albert Brooks.
