[Intro: Andy Bell]
What religion or reason could drive a man to despair?
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh, baby, refrain
From breaking my heart

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give mе no
That you give me no
That you give mе no
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Verse 2: Andy Bell]
And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love not war
And live in peace with our hearts

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason could drive a man to despair?
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Interlude: Andy Bell]
In love with you

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

[Interlude]

[Pre-Chorus 3: Andy Bell]
I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're 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

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me (Give a little respect)

[Chorus: Andy Bell]
Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me (Give a little respect)
