I'm Gonna Give You Respect Songtext
von Marvin Gaye

I don′t wanna hear no trouble talk
People tellin' me, what they seem to do
Girl, we got an understanding and I don′t wanna ruin it
If I wanna find something wrong, I'm gon' catch ya doin′ it, woo

You got what I need, babe (don′t wanna lose ya)
I don't wanna lose you (don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So, I′m gon' give you respect (give you respect)
And I want to protect our love (this love of ours)

I'm gonna act so naive
When people tell me, you′re gon′ deceive me
You're the only one whose brought me peace and joy
What we share, Lord knows, I ain′t about to destroy

Oh, baby (shucka, shucka now)
I don't wanna lose you (don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So, I'ma give you respect
And I want to protect (want to protect)
Our love (this love of ours)


Oh (shucka, shucka now)
I don′t wanna lose you (don′t wanna, don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna lose you)
Woo sugar

You possess all the things I′ve been searching for
You're the only one I worship, and adore
What you got, baby, so many fellas are tryin′ to find (I want you, girl)
Not gonna fix it so some other guy can beat my time

(Shucka, shucka now)
I don't wanna lose you (don't wanna, don′t wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna lose you)
So, I′m gon' give you respect (give you respect)
And I want to protect (want to protect)
Our love (this love of ours, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh-ho-ho-hoo hoo-hoo (give you respect, wanna protect)
Little girl (this love of ours, yeah, yeah)
Woo (shucka, shucka now)
I don′t wanna lose you (don't wanna, don′t wanna, don't wanna, don't wanna lose you)

So, I′m gonna give you respect (give you respect)
And I want to protect (want to protect)
Our love (this love of ours, baby)
You deserve it baby (give you respect, wanna protect)
This love of ours (this love of ours)
Ooh, yeah, yeah
