I tried to discover 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, you know 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 So I could hear you calling Oh baby please give me respect, do you believe? And if I should falter, won't you open your arms out to me We can make love not war, and live with peace in 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 So I could hear you calling, oh baby please give me respect, do you believe? I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue That you give me no reason, you know 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 So I could hear you calling, oh baby please give me respect, do you believe? Hear you calling, oh baby please give me respect, do you believe? 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, don't you tell me no So I could hear you calling, oh baby please give me respect, do you believe?
