Respect Lyrics by Sheppard

Zora

2024

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
You don't have to love me
But a little respect would be nice
Whеn you gonna move on with your life?
You don't have to want mе
But a little respect would be nice
Yeah, a little respect would be nice

[Verse 2]
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 (Huh?)
If you can make it twenty minutes without messaging me

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I’m over tryin' 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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
I'm over tryin' 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
