Show Some Respect

I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work

But I need you to make it work

You've got to read the message

Understand what's on my mind

'Cause not to see would be a crime

And we could lose it anytime

We've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if we want to stay close

We've got to show some respect

Well, I believe in workin'

But I believe in a little help

'Cause I'm not a light unto myself

We got a thing of value

Why settle for second best?

And we don't know what's up ahead

And we can't let ourselves forget

We've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if we want to stay close

We've got to show some respect

For the things that I love about you

I need some respect

From the woman that you see inside

Respect

Don't let it walk out the door

Love follows every time, oh

A little respect

For the things that I love about you

For the woman you see inside

We've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if we want to stay close

We've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if we want to stay close

Got to, got to show some respect

Got to, got to show some respect

Got to, got to have it, got to, got to have it

Respect

Got to, got to to hold it, got to, got to hold it

Respect

Oh, oh

Respect

Got to, got to earn some respect

Ooh, hold on

Respect

Oh

Respect

Hold on

Respect

Respect
