Lyrics

Everybody wants to be recognized
It doesn't matter what you've done
Some people find it on a big silver screen
Some find it behind a shotgun, oh, oh, oh
A small young girl, downtown south
She saw a starlet in a movie house
She left her mama to stake a big claim
Poor little girl never gonna be the same
Ooh, recognition
Ooh, recognition, yeah, yeah
Are you lookin' for a wide open door?
You want them all to see your face
There's too many fingers pointing to your grave
So go back home and keep your faith
Ooh, recognition
Ooh, recognition
Ooh, recognition
Ooh, recognition, yeah, yeah
Recognition
Recognition is what I want
Recognition is what I want
Recognition is what I want, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Recognition, gimme some
(Recognition) Recognition
Recognition
Recognition
Recognition, gimme some
Ooh, recognition
