Praise And Recognition ( C )

from Praise And Recognition EP by The Elbow Patches

lyrics

She's helping with the homework, she's helping with the projects
There is no time for dating, not that there are prospects
Her daughter is smart and sassy, her son is the absurd one
Each day she counts her blessings she never had a third one

She isn't one to hit them, hardly ever will shout
Throw any problem at her, she will work it all out
Sometimes they get so nasty, sometimes even hateful
She's all but given up on them ever being grateful

Is unconditional love a permanent condition?
Even without praise and recognition?

People will say she's too nice, telling her she spoils them
They are her squeaky wheels and she's the one who oils them
Now Mother's Day is coming, she knows it's gonna be hard
She will receive no flowers, not even a cheap card

Is unconditional love a permanent condition?
Even without praise and recognition?

She will do all she does, and that is while working full time
Payments for child support are late enough to be called a crime

Is unconditional love a permanent condition?
Even without praise and recognition?
