Praise And Recognition ( D )

from Praise And Recognition EP by The Elbow Patches

/

lyrics

He is always there for her
Still hasn't learned to tell her no
Always holds the chair for her
But he's a minor player in her show
She can always count on him
Nicknamed him "The Abacus"
He entertains her every whim
And he has a car, which is a plus

He shows his devotion in this endless audition
And where's the praise and recognition?

She can keep a good man down
Down on himself and in the dumps
Like the guy in Cathy's Clown
He knows how to take his lumps
If this was a rom com flick
Soon he'd be more than just a friend
He'd get the long end of the stick
And they'd be together in the end

He shows his devotion in the endless audition
And where's the praise and recognition?

Her friends call him "The Keeper"
But she keeps him at arm's length
To the side he should sweep her
If he could only find the strength

He shows his devotion in this endless audition
So where's the praise and recognition?
