A Little Respect Lyrics
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
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'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

I love both versions. The lyrics are great and almost everoyne in this world can relate to it, because usually in relationships there's someone who gives everything, and someone who just takes it without corresponding in a proper way.

This song is equipped with beats, enough to make you kick, but this really makes me sad, it has this drama....makes me wanna cry. Erasure did a great act on this song.

I know that it was played on an episode of Scrubs...pretty cool sounding song.

the line: "What religion or reason Could drive a man to forsake his lover" indicates that the artist is homosexual. The artist is a male and from the rest of the lyrics it would seem that HE is the forsaken one.

Wheatus murdered this song,its a fucking classic.

The Wheatus guy sounds like a prick and does not have the bass neccesary to pull this one off.

WTF?! Wheatus, man, they suck dick! Noway they pulled this off respectably.

Ironically, if they did indeed, they might have a better chance of pulling it off. :-D
Just kidding. Song is amazing, Wheatus sucks. Er, blows. Erm, is bad.
@xdarkentries lmao. Umm..no pun intended. Lol.

From the 30 seconds I heard of the Wheatus version on Amazon, it doesn't sound bad at all. But the original is one of best vocals from all the 80s. It's challenging to sing and even more so when sung with such feeling and power as Erasure did.

WELL ONE NIGHT WHEN I WAS HANGING OUT WITH THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, HE WAS DRUNK AND WE TAPED THE CONCERT OF ERASURE .HE WOULD JUST PLAY THE FIRST VERSE OF THIS SONG OVER AND OVER FOR 2 HOURS. SEE WE HAD THIS WEIRD RELATIONSHIP WHERE IT SEEMED HE WAS SCARED OFA DEEP RELATIONSHIP SO I FELT HE COMMUNICATED THROUGH SONG LYRICS SINCE IT WAS SAFE.
