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

taking me for granted lately

frankly

it's gotta quit

i feel underappreciated

now girls help me out

'cause you know what i'm talking about

i said

i'm feeling underappreciated

for all the time and effort i have put in this commitment

back to the beginning

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 loves delight

thought i'd never come back down

now it seems that you and me

have lost our solid ground

after time i realized

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

of our dreams while we lay in bed

how i missed those days when you stayed awake

now you roll over and snore instead

i feel underappreciated

now girls help me out

'cause you know what i'm talking about

i said

i'm feeling underappreciated

for all the time and effort i have put in this commitment

oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

i miss the nice massages

the long phone calls

and the way you talked

how it'd turn me on

miss the bubble baths

had the sweetest laughs

i'm needing those days back

i feel underappreciated

now girls help me out

'cause you know what i'm talking about

i said

i'm feeling underappreciated

for all the time and effort i have put in this commitment.
