"Respect" lyrics

"Respect"

I was acting nice
Playing by your rules
You were sneaking 'round
Doing whatever you do
Rolled me like a dice
I was such a fool
But you blew up our life
So tell me, what's the excuse?

I gave you everything that you wanted
But I'm thinking that it's time you moved on
'Cause there's no taking back what you started
So if you're gonna go, then be gone forever

You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
When you gonna move on with your life?
You don't have to want me
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah a little respect would be nice

I'm back up on feet, and now I'm feeling good
So I don't really care if you feel misunderstood
You do you. What? Then we'll see
If you can make it 20 minutes without messaging me

You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
When you gonna move on with your life?
You don't have to want me
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah a little respect would be nice

I'm over trying to figure out what's false and true
It's time to say for certain that the drama is you

You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah a little respect would be nice

I just want some peace in my life
Somewhere quiet to hide from your ego and pride
You can keep your piece on the side
There's no reason to fight
Just get out of my life

You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
When you gonna move on with your life?
You don't have to want me
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah a little respect would be nice

I'm over trying to figure out what's false and true
It's time to say for certain that the drama is you
You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah a little respect would be nice
