Tina Turner - Show Some Respect Lyrics

I made a resolution and I plan to keep my word
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 gotta show some respect
We've gotta learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if we want to stay close
We've gotta show some respect

Well, I believe in working, but 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 gotta show some respect
We've gotta learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if we want to stay close
We've gotta show some respect

For the things that I love about you (a little respect)
From the woman that you see inside (respect)
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows every time, oh

A little respect
For the things that I love about you
For the woman you see inside

We've gotta show some respect
We've gotta learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if we want to stay close
We've gotta show some respect

We've gotta learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if we want to stay close
Got to, got to show some respect
Got to, got to show some respect
Got to, got to, have it
Got to, got to, have it (respect)
Got to, got to hold it
Got to, got to hold it (respect)
Oh
Respect
Got to, got to hold some respect
Ooh
Hold on (respect)
Oh
Respect
Hold on
Respect
Respect
Respect
