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
You know you make 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

And if I should falter, would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at 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
I hear you calling
Oh, baby please 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 make 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

Soul, hear you calling
Baby please give a little respect to me
