He's the guy that you listen to singing his songs
Just because he's there
And you clap at the end because everybody does
But nobody really cares
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
Have a drink at the bar, he's your very best friend
He's interesting and polite
And he's great for a chat, but you always hope that
He won't play his guitar tonight
'Cos he's the so-so songwriter
He doesn't touch your soul
Yes he's the ho-hum songwriter
And it's not for lack of trying
But there's really no denying it at all
He's so-so...
So sick of hiding it
It's really so unfair
He's so-so...
