Unappreciated

 

Verse

I don’t feel like I’m valued

For what I do at home.

Would it hurt you if you helped me?

Sometimes I feel alone.

You work nine to five works over.

You meet the guys drink beer.

How about this week you stay at home

And do the chores round here?

Pre chorus

Wash the clothes, cook the meals

I’ll sit back drink my wine.

Help the kids with homework.

I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Chorus

Unappreciated

Unappreciated

Taken for granted by you.

Verse

If you still think my jobs easy

I’ll go to work full time.

At five O’ clock I’ll meet my friends.

We’ll talk and drink wine.

Come home and ask you what’s to eat?

Go turn the TV on

Or play a board game with the kids

While you go mow the lawn.

Pre chorus

Wash the clothes, cook the meals

I’ll sit back drink my wine.

Help the kids with homework.

I’m sure you’ll do just fine.

Chorus

Unappreciated

Unappreciated

Taken for granted by you.

Bridge

Better think twice before you complain.

Put yourself in my shoes.

Tell me you love me show me respect.

Now you know what I do.

I just found this one and thought I'd record what I'm hearing in my head before the tune is gone again. This is very quick and dirty. Sorry for the bad vocals.

Why do I work so hard
To make this house your home
Three kids, the chores never end
You won't even clean your throne

9 to 5 and your day's done
Yellin', "Honey get me a beer!"
I just finished the breakfast dishes 
Now I gotta' start dinner

Pre chorus
Wash the clothes, cook the meals
I don't even get paid
Help the kids with homework
Then pretend to get laid

Chorus
Unappreciated
Unappreciated
Taken for granted by you

You think my job is easy
And I should count my luck
But the only time I get a break 
Is when you're out getting drunk

Me and the kids get pizza
Near the bar so we can watch you
Dance around and act a fool
With that whore you dated in high school 

Pre chorus
One day you'll wash your clothes 
And I’ll be drinking wine
The kids will be in college 
I’m sure you’ll be just fine

Chorus
Unappreciated
Unappreciated
Taken for granted by you...  🙂

There's always the Trailer park version of a song.

I'll clean the rats cook the cat

Make you some roadkill stew.

This is a great country theme - wife taking the lazy husband to task. Songs like "I'm Going To Hire a Wino To Decorate Our Home" or "Tell Ol' I Ain't Here He Better Get On Home." I love those songs!

I like the lyric, but think it ought to start off less matter-of-factly, more conversationally, maybe with a gag, like JAPOV did.

I may or may not be an enigma

Go to tunes and listen to

The life I still know. 

Old one Barry did for me.
