Get yourself a deal on a pretty little wife.
She’s got huge appeal cheap and half the price.
Got yourself a snip and her qualitys real nice.
A proper little bargain and she’s put together nice.
She’s got self esteem and she knows her wrong from night.
Keep is squeeky clean and she knows how to fight.
She’s your proper queen and she runs her queendom tight.
If you could put her in the freezer you should keep her ass on ice.

Stop recognize what you’ve got.
Appreci-luv her from her hills to her valleys.
Give it up and don’t you always want what you have not.
If you just stop appreciate.

When things are good she’ll be right by your side.
And when things are bad she will be your spine.
Wether funds are low or wether they are high.
She will hold you down and always do you right.
When your day is hard she’s your nurse in the night.
To her you’re a star whatever people say outside.
It’s you she’s checking for wether you slip or you slide.
Sell pick you up from the floor and make sure that you be fine.

Stop recognize what you’ve got.
Appreci-luv her from her hills to her valleys.
Give it up and don’t you always want what you have not.
If you just stop appreciate love.
Stop recognize what you’ve got.
Appreci-luv her from her hills to her valleys.
Give it up and don’t you always want what you have not.
If you just stop appreciateher love recognize her love.

Yes she can be moody but thats alright.
Were walking through the hills and balleys side by side.
We lead each others way through the darkest night.
If theres a price we gotta pay it couldn’t be too high.

Stop recognize what you’ve got.
Appreci-luv her from her hills to her valleys.
Give it up and don’t you always want what you have not.
If you just stop appreciate her love.
Stop recognize what you’ve got.
Appreci-luv her from her hills to her valleys.
Give it up and don’t you always want what you have not.
If you just stop appreciate her love.
