Appreciate Me

(1st Verse):
I want ya, I need ya
I wake up first to feed ya
You`re the only one I ever really loved (you`re the man above)
I`ve been conquered and lovin` 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 goin` down
But you better remember - talk to me like a lady
I know that you ain`t crazy

(Hook):
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)

(2nd Verse):
Runnin` in the streets, you are the man
But when you come home, respect who I am
Keep it gangsta �cause you 1ne 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

(Hook):
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)

(Bridge):
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 floatin` way up off the ground

(Hook):
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)
