(Kirsty MacColl/Marshall Crenshaw) I'm nearly sober And I can see the truth I'm not immune to the sorrow that you put me through All I ever wanted Was a little more respect from you I used to love you But now I feel abused I was a fool to be blind to the things you do All I ever wanted Was a little more respect from you I'll never understand The habits of a man out on the town And where he hangs around Now you think it over Decide what to do I couldn't fall for your story if I wanted to All I ever wanted Was a little more respect from you I tried to make you see That you were losing me but every day You still went out to play And now I'll say for the last time You had the chance And I won't dance for you baby like you want me to All I ever wanted Was a little more respect from you All I ever wanted was a little more respect
