Vertical Align inside <p> tag

I have this html:

<div id="workAllocated">
    <h3>Work Allocated</h3>
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p>  
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p>  
</div>

And the following CSS:

div#contentarea.profile_edit div {
    margin-bottom: 20px;
}
div#contentarea.profile_edit div.col_01 h3 {
    font-size: 2.4em;
    margin: 0;
}
div#workAllocated p {
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}

The result looks like this snapshot:

enter image description here

But I need it to looks like this:

enter image description here

The different is the vertical align of the text inside the <p> tags. It is aligned top-left inside the <p> container but it should be middle-left. I've tried some tricks as change the line-height and change the display to table-cell and then apply the vertical-align property, but none of them really work.

Thanks in advance!

Just add a height to the p and adjust your line-height to it

Fiddle.

This works for me: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/LrEcx

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<style media="all">

div#workAllocated p {
    margin: 0px;
    line-height: 1;
    border-bottom: 1px solid red;
    padding: 2px 0;
}

</style>

</head>
<body>

<div id="workAllocated">
    <h3>Work Allocated</h3>
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p>  
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p> 
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p>  
    <p>Lorem Ipsum</p>  
    <p>LOREM IPSUM</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

Set a height for your p's and then set the line height equal to that one.
