I MADE A RESOLUTION
AND A PLAN TO DO MY WORK
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 LOOSE IT ANYTIME
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN TO PROTECT
DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED I KNOW
THAT IF YOU WANT TO STAY CLOSE
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
BUT I BELIEVE IN WORKING
THEN I BELIEVE IN A LITTLE HELP
CAUSE I'M NOT LIGHT UNTO MYSELF
WITHOUT A THING OF VALUE
WHY SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S UP AHEAD
WE CAN'T LET OURSELVES FORGET
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN TO PROTECT
DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED I KNOW
THAT IF YOU WANT TO STAY CLOSE
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
FOR THE THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT YOU
FROM THE WOMAN THAT YOU SEE INSIDE
DON'T LET IT WALK OUT THE DOOR
LOVE FOLLOWS EVERY TIME
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
WE'VE GOT TO LEARN TO PROTECT
DON'T TAKE IT FOR GRANTED I KNOW
THAT IF YOU WANT TO STAY CLOSE
WE'VE GOT TO SHOW SOME RESPECT
