Kelis - Appreciate Me lyrics

[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)
