Appreciate Me

I want you, I need you

I wake up first to feed you

You're the only one I've ever really loved

(You're the man above)

I've been conquered and loving to you

You know all the real things I've been through, yeah



You rescue me when everyone has let me down

Like a soldier you protect me from what's going down

But you better remember talk to me like a lady

I know that you ain't crazy



Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me



Running in the streets, you are the man

But when you come home respect who I am

Keep it gangsta 'cause you one on the block

But when you step inside the door give the key to your heart

I'm not tryna wear the pants, they fit you right

But I'm your wife, so in these hands you put your life

Hold me like your baby, treat me like your lady

'Cause I know you ain't crazy



Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me



Just hold me close, I love you near

One look at you and I see so clear

The reason you won't let me down

'Cause I feel you in my heart

It's like I'm floating way above ground



Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me
