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 it   I gave up my ironing   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 gentleman   Now it's hard to turn your head   Away from the TV set   Taking me for granted lately   Frankly, it's gotta quit      Ooh, I feel under appreciated   Now girls help me out   'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say   Oh, 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 tonight   Thought I 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   How I missed those days when you stayed awake   Now you roll over and snore instead      Ooh, I feel under appreciated   Now girls help me out   'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say   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 for closeness   And the way you talk   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   'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say   Oh, 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
