He Don’t Appreciate It

[Verse 1]
When a man gets a good woman to cook his meals
To wash and iron his clothes
You know he'll come on in the house and let off his load
And then he'll go on right back outdoors
What he don't know is that woman is his backbone
'Cause if he did he wouldn't leave her all alone
[Chorus]
He don't appreciate it
He don't appreciate it
[Verse 2]
Now when he comes in, tellin' you his lies
And wearing that lowdown smile
He say, 'now, Honey I been out with the boys for a while
So there's no need to cry'
What he don't know is that I'm tired of cooking
What he don't know is that I'm tired of looking
[Chorus]
He don't appreciate it
He don't appreciate it
[Verse 3]
One of these days, to his big surprise, he's gonna find out I'm getting wise
I'm gonna tell him I been out with the girls for a while
Then we'll see if he still has that smile
When he asks me the hour or the time
I'm gonna tell him I got peace of mind
[Chorus]
He don't appreciate it
He don't appreciate it
[Ad-lib]
Baby, you know I cook your meals
Wash and iron your clothes
You come on in the house and let off your load
And then you go right back outdoors
That's all right, baby
I'm gonna find me a good, good, loving daddy
Somebody who's gonna appreciate it
Oh, [? 2:21] You should'a appreciated it
You dirty, dirty...
No, you didn't appreciate it, no
I treated you good, babe
But you didn't want my loving
But that's all right, baby
I said, that's all right, baby
You gonna look for me one day
I'm gonna be long, long, long gone
Oh, baby
Look at me now
Can't get good enough, baby
Said I'm gone
Hey! Said I'm gone
Baby, you didn't appreciate my loving
You didn't appreciate my loving
Bye, baby
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye-bye, baby
I'm gonna leave you now
I'm gonna leave you now
I'm gone, baby
Bye-bye, baby
You didn't appreciate my loving
You didn't appreciate my loving
Baby
You didn't appreciate it
You understand?
You didn't appreciate it, baby
So I'm gone, now
Hey, I'm gone
I said I'm gone
Bye
Bye-bye, baby
Oh
Look at it, baby
I can smile about it now, baby
'Cause I'm gone
Oh, baby
Come on, baby
I said I'm gone
Because you didn't appreciate it
You didn't appreciate it
I can't say no more
