9th Wonder - Love & Appreciate 2 lyrics

[Hook] What you need is some love and appreciation Gotta treat her like a queen before she walk away Before it's too late, you gotta..sing it, you better treat her like a lady Oh ahh, treat her like a lady, shes that special lady [Verse 1] Now it had to all start with a broken heart Some dude got hurt and it was ripping him apart So he, he made him a song Cause he was tired of the pain and the getting done wrong But how long will it last? You can't keep comparing them to women from the past It's time to move on Open up your heart so you can sing a new song You ain't a pimp you just pissed off Meet the right woman and you get soft Used to try and play hard Now you buying chocolate and valentines cards And man..that's a good thing Showing these kids what the word love should mean [Hook] What you need is some love and appreciation Gotta treat her like a queen before she walk away Before it's too late, you gotta..sing it, you better treat her like a lady Oh ahh, treat her like a lady, shes that special lady [Verse 2] Can't live with them, can't live without them But I love a whole lot more than I hate about them They look good feel good and smell even better So why you acting like your mama didn't use that leather? B word this, h bomb that In the midst all of this I wonder where your moms at? Cause if she ain't one, then tell me where the hate from You just calm down and maybe you can date one Buy some flowers, open up some doors She needs some tampons, homie go to the store Vitamin water, a bottle of motrin Teddy bear, candy bar something, a token Of affection, a step in that direction Cause love is about progress not perfection [Hook] What you need is some love and appreciation Gotta treat her like a queen before she walk away Before it's too late, you gotta..sing..you better treat her like a lady Oh ahh, treat her like a lady, shes that special lady [Verse 3] You love your homeboys, but you hate these ladies Your gonna chose them over her, you crazy? The ones you post up with, smoke blunts with Y'all share the same spit, you might as well kiss Now don't get me wrong, I love my dudes But I'ma pick a girl anytime I gotta choose I like mad, but I love orgasms And I'm not trying to have the same problems your having Cause your confused the scared little dude Beatin' on your lady cause your in a bad mood Your insecure, a little unsure Don't know how to deal with the feelings so pure It's called love, it's joy and pain But you gotta take some risk to enjoy the game [Hook] What you need is some love and appreciation Gotta treat her like a queen before she walk away Before it's too late, you gotta..sing..you better treat her like a lady Oh ahh, treat her like a lady, shes that special lady
