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 give me no reason

Why 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

To me



And if I should falter

Would you open your arms out 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



Soul, 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 give me no reason

Why 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



(Soul) I hear you calling

Oh baby please (Give a little respect)

Give a little respect

To me
