Erasure
A Little Respect
[Verse 1]
I try 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
Why you make a 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
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
And live at 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
Give a little respect to me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Verse 3 Reprise]
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you make a 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 (Give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me (Soul)
Soul, I hear you calling (Calling)
Oh, baby, please (Give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me
