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
