Lyrics:

I made a resolution
and I plan to keep my word
But I need you to make it work
You've gotta read the message
and understand what's on my mind
'cause not to see would be a crime
We could loose it any time

[chorus:]
We've gotta show some respect
We've gotta learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
that if we want to stay close
we've gotta show some respect

Well I believe in working
but I believe in a little help
'cause I'm not a lot unto myself
You got a thing of value
Why settle for second best?
We don't know what's up ahead
We can't let ourselves forget

[chorus]

for the things that I love about you
for the woman that you see inside
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows every time

A little respect
for the things that I love about you
and for the woman you see inside

[chorus
