I tried to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby, refrain from breakin' 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
(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 oh, oh
And live in 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 soul
I hear you calling
Oh baby, please give a little respect to me
I tried to discover

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
(Baby, please)
Give a little respect to me
(Give a little respect to me)
