I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work

But I need you to make it work

Youve got to read the message, understand whats on my mind

Cause not to see would be a crime

And we could lose it anytime

Weve got to show some respect

Weve got to learn to protect

Dont take it for granted, I know

That if you want to stay close

Weve got to show some respect

But I believe in working, then I believe in a little help

Cause Im not a light unto myself

Without a thing of value, why settle for second best

We dont know whats up ahead

And we can't let ourselves forget

Weve got to show some respect

Weve got to learn to protect

Dont take it for granted, I know

That if you want to stay close

Weve got to show some respect

For the things that I love about you

From the woman that you see inside

Dont let it walk out the door

Love follows everytime
