For reasons I don’t know I treated you so cold

I wish I had those times again

Cause something that you said keeps ringing in my head

Someday you’re gonna wanna come back and you’re gonna wanna treat me fine



Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little time

Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little



I watched me push you down in dreams I had of you

And all I remember about those days is I would run around thinking that you’d be alright

But you lost your light along the way

And oh you were right about the things I’d say

Cause if I had it back again I know I’d treat you kind



Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little time

Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little time

Everybody got to have somebody

Everybody got to have someone



And all I ever wanted from this play

Was someone to talk to when I get down

It seems you get the things you give along the way

Now all I need is one more chance to make you feel like hanging round



Everybody needs a little

Everybody needs a little

Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little time

Everybody needs a little respect

Everybody needs a little time

Everybody

Everybody got to have someone
