Give The Lady Some Respect

(album: Water's Edge - 1980)

Just give the lady some respect, boy
She don't need your neglect, boy
Do you know that if she were mine?
I would give her some more time

Yes, it's you I'm talking to, sir
Listen or you gonna lose her
Waking up to the truth there
Just give the lady what you think she needs
Just give the lady what you know she needs

And if you let her get to know you better
She'll never let you down
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you

If anything you said should upset her
Don't let it turn you 'round
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you
The lady needs to know you
The lady needs to know

You feel you need some one to turn to
But you're afraid that love will burn you
And your head is crying, save me
Talk it out with the lady

Yes, it's you I'm talking to, sir
Listen or you gonna lose her
Oh-oh, just give the lady what you think she needs
Just give the lady what you know she needs

And if you let her get to know you better
She'll never let you down
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you

If anything you said should upset her
Don't let it turn you 'round
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you
The lady needs to

Just give the lady some respect, boy
She don't need your neglect, boy
Do you know that if she were mine?
I would give her some more time

Yes, it's you I'm talking to, sir
Listen or you gonna lose her
(You gonna lose her)
So give the lady what's she really needs

Just let her get to know you better
She'll never let you down
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you

If anything you say should upset her
Don't let it turn you 'round
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you

Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you
Oh-oh, the lady needs to know you
Oh-oh the lady needs to know you
