(A Little) Respect

[Verse 1] I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter Oh, baby, refrain From breakin' my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason You know you're making me work so hard [Pre-Chorus] That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no [Chorus] Soul, I hear you calling Oh, baby, please (Oh, baby, please) Give a little respect to me (Give a little respect to me) [Verse 2] And if I should falter Would you open your arms out to me? We can make love, not war (oh, oh) And live in peace with our hearts I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover? [Pre-Chorus] Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no Don't you tell me no [Chorus] Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please (Oh baby, please) Give a little respect to me (Give a little respect to me) [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 3] I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason You know you're making me work so hard [Pre-Chorus] That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no That you give me no [Chorus] Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby, please (Oh baby, please) Give a little respect to me (Give a little respect to me)
