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)
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,
I hear you calling,
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me
((( instumental )))
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)
Give a little respect to me

I hear you calling,
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me.
