Sue Shifrin - Show Some Respect lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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
