(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)
