Erasure • Lyrics
A Little Respect
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 gimme no reason why you make me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme 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 to me?
We can make love not war and live at peace with 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 gimme no reason, you know you make me work so hard
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
That you gimme no
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please (give a little respect)
Give a little respect to me
She wanted to be the hostess of the Big Game Show
Like Loni Anderson
She wanted to be seen on Spectravision
She told her friends that one day
She would be the movie queen
Like Krystle Carrington
Pay her weekly visit
To the top beauticians
Soul corruption, self destruction
(Are you prepared to fight?)
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
New sensation, Cecil B. DeMille creation
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
She wanted to marry a big movie star
Like Omar Sharif
Her walk-on part
In the b-movie was a big success
She did a voiceover selling Hershey bars
Just like Betty White
But for now she is a temporary waitress
Soul corruption, self destruction
(Are you prepared to fight?)
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
New sensation, Cecil B. DeMille creation
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
She told her friends that
One day she would be the movie queen
Like Zsa Zsa Zsa Gabor
But for now she is a waitress in a cocktail bar
Soul corruption, self destruction
(Are you prepared to fight?)
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
New sensation, Cecil B. DeMille creation
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
Soul corrupt, self destruct
Soul corrupt, self destruct
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
All the way to Hollywood
Are you prepared to fight?
She wanted to marry a big movie star
Like Omar Sharif
Soul corrupt, self destruct
Are you prepared to fight
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
Soul corrupt, self destruct
You can make a lotta money
Take a little bit, take a little bit, run
Love is colder than death they say
To warm your heart to the bone
Hold me closer, don't dare to speak
Because soon my love I'll be gone
Cherish the moment with me
Love for all, love for all, all eternity
Golden dance with the moon tonight
The starlight to serenade you
Venus the goddess of love
Love for all, love for all, all eternity
Love for all, love for all, all eternity
