Underappreciated

I remember when it all first began
We were tight right from the start
It wasn't long before you came on strong
Trying hard to win my heart
I played hard to get but I couldn't help
but give up my heart in the end
You were thoughtful
Careful not to hurt the relationship

What happened to those days when
You used to be compassionate
Caring what I thought and said
So attentive a gentleman
Now it's hard to turn your head
Away from the TV set
You're taking me for granted lately
And frankly, it's gotta quit

Ooh, I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about, I said
Ooh, I'm feeling under appreciated
For all the time and effort
I have put in this commitment

Back again to the very beginning
When our love was something new
Back when romance was important
Not just another thing to do
I was feeling high on love's delight
Thought I'd never come back down
Now it seems that you and me
Have lost our solid ground

Well half the time I realize
I seem to give more than I get
Funny how things seem to change
After a few years commitment
Used to talk for hours on end
'Bout our dreams while we lay in bed
I miss those days when you stayed awake
Now you roll over and snore instead

Ooh, I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about, I said
Ooh, I'm feeling under appreciated
For all the time and effort
I have put in this commitment

I miss those nice massages
The long phone calls
And the way you talked
How it turned me on
The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips
I needed those days back

Ooh, I feel under appreciated
Now girls help me out
If you know what I'm talking about, I said
Ooh, I'm feeling under appreciated
For all the time and effort
I have put in this commitment

Ooh, I feel under appreciated
Ooh yeah, if you feel me, sing it with me
Come on help me out
Ooh, I'm feeling under appreciated
Ooh, ooh, ooh
