A Little Respect -- Erasure

I try to discover A little something to make me sweeter  baby refrain from breaking my heart I'm so in love with you I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason You know you make-a-me work so hard
That you gimme no That you gimme no 

Soul, I hear you calling Oh baby please give a little respect to me
And if I should falter Would you open you 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


Soul, I hear you calling baby please give a little respect to me
I'm so in love with you  I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason You know you make-a-me work so hard
that you gimme no  That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling  baby please give a little respect to me (sing365)

The song is a plea for reconciliation from a lover who has been hurt, and it shows Andy Bell's ability to pour his heart out in his lyrics, which is something Clarke struggles with. "I've tried to write lyrics that perhaps express the way I feel sometimes. I've struggled with that feeling. I find it easier to write lyrics about someone else's situation other than my own. I can't with any of my songs, say Yeah, that was me when I was half drunk, hung over or something or other.                          (songfacts)
