I'm nearly sober

And I can see the truth

I'm not immune to the sorrow that you put me through

All I ever wanted

Was a little more respect from you



I used to love you

But now I feel abused

I was a fool to be blind to the things you do

All I ever wanted

Was a little more respect from you



I'll never understand

The habits of a man out on the town

And where he hangs around



Now you think it over

Decide what to do

I couldn't fall for your story if I wanted to

All I ever wanted

Was a little more respect from you



I tried to make you see

That you were losing me but every day

You still went out to play



And now I'll say for the last time

You had the chance

And I won't dance for you baby like you want me to

All I ever wanted

Was a little more respect from you



All I ever wanted was a little more respect
