Lennon KC - office clerk Lyrics

It's not my job to think about her
Still my mind has put in the work
I don't get paid to feel all this hurt
And yet I'm here everyday just like the office clerk
And I called once to see who was there
But the application has been closed for a year
There's no vacation when you live in my ears
You make the day shift my biggest fear

For hours on end
I have lived in a land of pretend
I have placed all my chips in the pot
Not one card I needed has dropped
I've said it all before
With no one there to hit record
I try to get away by getting paid
That doesn't change the fact that you're not here today

I'm running late now, late now
I'm looking for a way out, way out
I'll leave it all behind
I tell 'em what I need
It ain't a 9-5
It's my baby by my side
I woulda skipped shift for her, but I got quit on first

And now it's not my job to think about her
Still my mind has put in the work
I don't get paid to feel all this hurt
And yet I'm here everyday just like the office clerk
And I called once to see who was there
But the application has been closed for a year
There's no vacation when you live in my ears
You make the day shift my biggest fear

It's not my job to think about her
Still my mind has put in the work
I don't get paid to feel all this hurt
So why the hell am I still missing her
