Christina Aguilera › Lyrics › 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 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
