I tried to discover

A little something to make me sweeter

Oh baby refrain from breaking 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

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no

That you give me no soul

I hear you calling

Oh baby please (give a little respect to me)

Give a little respect to me

And if I should falter

Would you open your arms out to me

We can make love not war

And live with peace in 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

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no soul

hear you calling

Oh baby please (give a little respect to me)

Give a little respect to me

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 soul

I hear you calling

Oh baby please (give a little respect to me)

Give a little respect to me

I hear you calling

Oh baby please (give a little respect to me)

Give a little respect to me
