[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!"
