That if you want to stay close
Got to, got to to hold it, got to, got to hold it
That if you want to stay close
For the things that I love about you
Got to, got to show some respect
Love follows every time
We've got to learn to protect
And we could lose it anytime
We've got to learn to protect
Don't let it walk out the door
From the woman that you see inside
For the woman that you see inside
Don't take it for granted, I know
We've got to show some respect
A little respect
We've got to show some respect
We've got to show some respect
'Cause I'm not a allowed unto myself
And we can't let ourselves forget
We've got to learn to protect
But I believe in workin', then I believe in a little help
For the things that I love about you
Understand what's on my mind
And we don't know what's up ahead
Got to, got to show some respect
That if you want to stay close
Don't take it for granted, I know
You've got to read the message
Don't take it for granted, I know
Without a thing of value
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect
Why settle for second best
We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
'Cause not to see would be a crime
Don't take it for granted, I know
We've got to show some respect
Got to, got to have it, got to, got to have it
