Appreciate Me - Kelis

I want ya I need ya

I wake up first to feed ya

You're the only one

I've 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

Don't take my kindness for weakness

Appreciate me

Runnin' 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

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

Don't take my kindness for weakness
