Love & Appreciate
Murs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get the feeling girl, you need someone
To love and appreciate you
To love and appreciate you

Now I was lost, confused, caught up in my feelings
When I first started finding other women appealin'
Thinkin' that the grass is greener on the other side I panicked
Settlin' down so young, wasn't how I planned it
Man it seemed like yesterday, we was all about each other
Never in a million years would I need another lover
But you got too familiar, not like I didn't feel ya
But sayin' something new while we make love would it kill ya?
Calm baby girl, its not an excuse
Cause I probably could have put that gym membership to use
I put on the weight
You put on the brakes
Now we both sit around with that look on our face
You wonder who I'm seeing
And I'm wonder who you're seeing
But we too afraid to ask cause we both got our demons
The reason why we should try to keep this thing together
Cause we stood by each other through all types of weather

I get the feeling girl, you need someone
To love and appreciate you
To love and appreciate you

Now all that takin' you for granted done stop
And the love that we standin' on is solid as a rock
Not but nothing but couple months back when we fought
I couldn't live with myself thinking that you were lost
And now we found common ground
The crib found empty never havin' you around
Now we getting down and the sex is full throttle
Chillin' on the couch watchin' next top model
Don't wanna be nowhere else
It was time for me to put the pimp game on the shelf
You helped with the bills, and I helped with the bills
They say that I'm Whooped, but it's cool I know the deal
I found a real women that'll stay down for me
Shoulda' never had doubts cause I found you early
While my homeboys search, I had what I need
And I'm glad you agree

I get the feeling girl, you need someone




To love and appreciate you
To love and appreciate you

Been with my girl (now wife) for twelve years since senior year high school. Settled down early. Sometimes wondered what could of been, but at the end of the day, I wouldn’t trade it away for anything. She’s always has and always will have my back. We also had our first baby boy earlier this year. She’s an awesome woman and even greater mother. How I got so lucky, I still don’t know.

Sandra Turner

Pure love! Hallelujah! 🙌 💗

Brianna Johnson

My boyfriend and I have been through a lot. This is our relationship anthem as of now.
