For reasons i don't know i treated you so cold
i wish i had those times again
cause something that you said
keeps ringing in my head
someday you're gonna wanna come back
and you're gonna wanna treat me fine
Everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little time
everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little
I watched me push you down in dreams i had of you
and all i remember about those days is i would run around thinking that you'd be alright
but you lost your light along the way
and oh you were right about the things i'd say
cause if i had it back again
i know i'd treat you kind
Everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little time
everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little time
everybody got to have somebody
everybody got to have someone
And all i ever wanted from this play
was someone to talk to when i get down
it seems you get the things you give along the way
now all i need is one more chance
to make you feel like hanging round
Everybody needs a little
everybody needs a little
everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little time
everybody needs a little respect
everybody needs a little time
everybody
everybody got to have someone
