A Little Respect

This is a blues cover of Erasure's "A Little Respect". I know, I know -- it doesn't sound like the original. But hey, that's the point of a cover, right? :)

Lyrics: I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh baby refrain from breaking my heart
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me
We can make love not war
And live at peace in our hearts
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason
Could drive a man to forsake his lover

Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard

That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh baby please give a little respect to me

Aloft Hotel selected 50 artists to help them celebrate the opening of their 50th hotel by performing at their local Aloft. Additionally, each of us offered a free download of our music. The artist with the most downloads by Oct. 15th at 11:59pm will be flown to Napa Valley, CA for their Live in the Vineyard concert. I'm #3, and need your help.

Only 9 days left to pledge! Keep spreading the word. Don't forget, this is a

really cheap way to pre-order the new album (plus you'll get it signed and

shipped for about half of what it will be once it hits retailers). AND if you don't know what to get me for my birthday, this will certainly suffice! ;)

Never heard the original. This sounds great.
