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 to me   Soul, I hear you calling   Oh baby please give a little respect to me
