SHOW SOME RESPECT Lyrics

(T. Britten, S. Shifrin) 

Producer: Terry Britten 

Album: Private Dancer (84) 

 

I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work 

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 everytime
