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 feel underappreciated

Now girls help me out

'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say

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 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

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

I feel underappreciated

Now girls help me out

'Cause you know what I'm talking about, I say

I'm feeling underappreciated

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

I feel underappreciated

Now girls help me out

'Cause you know what I'm talking about I say

I'm feeling underappreciated

For all the time and effort I have put in this commitment
