A Little Respect (Live) [Birmingham, N.E.C., UK - 1988/11/15]

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]

I try to discover

A little something to make me sweeter

Oh, baby, refrain

From breaking my heart

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

I'm so in love with you

I'll be forever blue

That you give me no reason

Why you make a me work so hard

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

[Chorus: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

Soul, I hear you calling

Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]

And if I should falter

Would you open your arms out to me?

We can make love not war

And live in peace with our hearts

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue

What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?

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, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

Soul, I hear you calling

Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

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

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

[Chorus: Andy Bell, Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers]

Soul, I hear you calling

Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling (Give a little respect to me)

Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Coda: Andy Bell, (Valerie Chalmers & Emma Chalmers)]

Give a little respect (Give a little respect)

Give a little respect (Give a little respect)

[Outro: Andy Bell]

"Thank you!"
