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 (trying to win it)
I played hard to get but I couldn't help
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 (I'll take it that)
(Uh) I feel underappreciated
(Uh) Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
(Uh) I'm feeling underappreciated
(Uh) 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 love tonight
Thought I never come back down
Now it seems that you and me have lost our solid ground
Half the time I realize
I seem to give more than I get (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
(Uh) I feel underappreciated
(Uh) Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
(Uh) I'm feeling underappreciated
(Uh) For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I miss those nice massages
The long for closeness
The way you talk
How it turned me on
The thoughtfulness and the sweetest lips
I needed those days back
(Uh) I feel underappreciated
(Uh) Now girls help me out
'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say
(Uh) I'm feeling underappreciated
(Uh) For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
(Uh) I feel underappreciated
(Uh) If you feel me, sing it with me, come on help me out
(Uh) I'm feeling underappreciated
(Uh)
