[Verse]
             C
I try to discover
                       G
A little something to make me sweeter
            Em                    F
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
 
           C
I'm so in love with you
           G
I'll be forever blue
                     F
That you give me no reason
                      Am
Why you're making me work so hard
[Chorus] 
 G
That you give me no
That you give me no
 
 C                G
Soul, I hear you calling
          F                     Em   F G C
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
C
                 C
And if I should falter
                     G
Would you open your arms out to me
                     Em
We can make love not war
                             F
And live at peace with our hearts
 
           C
I'm so in love with you
           G
I'll be forever blue
                   F
What religion or reason
                        Am
Could drive a man to forsake his lover
[Chorus] 
 G
 
Don't you tell me no
 
  C               G
Soul, I hear you calling
          F                     Em   F G C
Oh baby please give a little respect to me
