Kelis Lyrics
"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
