Show some respect lyrics

I made a resolution and I plan to keep

My word

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

Chorus: we've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if you want to stay close

We've got to show some respect

But I believe in working, then I believe

In a little help

Cause I'm not a light unto myself

Without a thing of value, why settle for second best

We don't know what's up ahead

And we can't let ourselves forget

Chorus: we've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if you want to stay close

We've got to show some respect

For the things that I love about you

From the woman that you see inside

Don't let it walk out the door

Love follows every time

Chorus: we've got to show some respect

We've got to learn to protect

Don't take it for granted, I know

That if you want to stay close

We've got to show some respect
