Lyrics
I try 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
Why 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
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at 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
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
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
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
