Lyrics for Show Some Respect

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 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 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 For the things that I love about you From the woman that you see inside 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 We 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 We've got to show some respect
