Lyrics

I try to discover

I am attempting to find something about myself.

A little something to make me sweeter

Searching for a quality to enhance my personality.

Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart

Requesting not to cause emotional pain.

I'm so in love with you

Expressing deep affection for someone.

I'll be forever blue

Feeling persistently sad or melancholic.

That you gimme no reason

No apparent justification for your actions.

Why you make-a-me work so hard

Questioning the difficulty and effort in the relationship.


That you gimme no

Reiterating the absence of certain things (reasons or explanations).

That you gimme no

-

That you gimme no

-

That you gimme no

-

Soul, I hear you calling

Referencing the inner self or conscience.

Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Pleading for consideration and acknowledgment of feelings.


And if I should falter

Inquiring if support would be given during a challenging moment.

Would you open you arms out to me?

Asking for emotional openness and acceptance.

We can make love not war

Suggesting choosing love over conflict.

And live at peace with our hearts

Promoting harmony and understanding.

I'm so in love with you

Reaffirming deep love despite challenges.

I'll be forever blue

Continuing to feel persistently sad or melancholic.

What religion or reason

Questioning the motivation behind actions.

Could drive a man to forsake his lover?

Contemplating what could lead someone to abandon their lover.


Don't you tell me no

Insisting on not receiving refusals or denials.

Don't you tell me no

-

Don't you tell me no

-

Don't you tell me no

-

Soul, I hear you calling

Referring again to the inner self or conscience.

Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Repeating the plea for respect and understanding.


I'm so in love with you

Reiterating deep affection despite challenges.

I'll be forever blue

Persistently feeling sad or melancholic.

That you gimme no reason

No apparent justification for your actions.

You know you make-a-me work so hard

Emphasizing the difficulty and effort in the relationship.


That you gimme no

Reiterating the absence of certain things (reasons or explanations).

That you gimme no

-

That you gimme no

-

That you gimme no

-

Soul, I hear you calling

Referencing the inner self or conscience once more.

Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Renewing the plea for consideration and acknowledgment.


Soul, I hear you calling

Repeating the call from the inner self or conscience.

Oh baby, please, give a little respect to me

Reiterating the plea for respect and understanding.
