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
understand what's on my mind
cause not to see would be a crime
and we could lose it anytime
chorus
we've got to show some respect
we've got to learn to protect
don't take it for granted i know
that if you want to stay close
we've got to show some respect
but i believe in working
then i believe in a little help
cause i'm not a light unto myself
without a thing of value
why settle for second best
we don't know what's up ahead
we can't let ourselves forget
repeat chorus
for the things that i love about you
from the woman that you see inside
don't let it walk out the door
love follows every time
repeat chorus
