I want to respect you,
But I don’t know what that is.
I want to respect you,
But I don’t know how.
Maybe if you would have shown me,
What respect is...
Then I’d be able to respect others,
The way they wish.
I only know how to treat others,
The way they treat me.

You get what you give,
And you give what you get.

Respect

I want to respect you,
But I don’t know what that is.
I want to respect you,
But I don’t know how.
Maybe if you would have shown me,
What respect is...
Then I’d be able to respect others,
The way they wish.
I only know how to treat others,
The way they treat me.

You get what you give,
And you give what you get.
