Lyrics

Respect

[Verse 1]

I was acting nice, playing by your rules

You were sneaking 'round, doing whatever you do

Rolled me like a dice, I was such a fool

But you blew up our life, so tell me, what’s the excuse?

I gave you everything that you wanted

But I'm thinking that it's time you moved on

’Cause there's no taking back what you started

So if you're gonna go, then be gone forever

[Chorus]

You don't have to love me

But a little respect would be nice

Whеn you gonna move on with your life?

You don't have to want mе

But a little respect would be nice

Yeah, a little respect would be nice

[Verse 2]

I'm back up on feet and now I'm feeling good

So I don't really care if you feel misunderstood

You do you (What?), then we’ll see (Huh?)

If you can make it twenty minutes without messaging me

[Chorus]

You don’t have to love me

But a little respect would be nice

When you gonna move on with your life?

You don't have to want me

But a little respect would be nice

Yeah, a little respect would be nice

[Post-Chorus]

I’m over tryin' to figure out what's false and true

It's time to say for certain that the drama is you

You don’t have to love me

But a little respect would be nice

Yeah, a little respect would be nice

[Bridge]

I just want some peace in my life

Somewhere quiet to hide from your ego and pride

You can keep your piece on the side

There's no reason to fight

Just get out of my life

[Chorus]

You don't have to love me

But a little respect would be nice

When you gonna move on with your life?

You don't have to want me

But a little respect would be nice

Yeah, a little respect would be nice

[Post-Chorus]

I'm over tryin' to figure out what's false and true

It's time to say for certain that the drama is you

You don't have to love me

But a little respect would be nice

Yeah, a little respect would be nice
