A Little Respect - Erasure

From our good friend Mac's mother:
OK, so this submission is so bad I am not taking responsibility. Mac seems to love this song and sings it in a really bad falsetto. He begged to enter it into the running for Bad Song Friday. Feel sorry for my son, he is clearly in need of help. The group is called Erasure. Please take note of the clever acting out of the lyrics.

signed,
Mac's mother

This song is going to be stuck in my head for several days. Thanks Mac, and Mac's mom! However, I must confess to listening to this song, and several other Erasure tunes, fairly obsessively in my late teens.



A little respect

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why youre 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
Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no
Dont you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Im so in love with you
Ill be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know youre 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
