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 gimme no reason
why you make me work so hard


That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no

That you gimme no

So, I hear you calling

Oh baby please
Give a little respect to me


And if I should falter would you open your arms 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?


Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no

So, 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 gimme no reason

you know you make me work so hard

That you gimme no

That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no


So, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (give a little respect)

Give a little respect to me

So, I hear you calling

Oh baby please (give a little respect)
