This love is built on respect-Baby
This love is built on respect-Yes, lady.
There never been a time when I wanted to be unkind.
You have earned my love just by being you.

And there has been a time when you don't speak your mind.
And that just suits me fine.
Because this love is built on respect.
And to you, I promise to protect from any harm.

This love is built on respect-Baby
This love is built on respect.
You give me the freedom to be me.
As I give you space to be you.

And if there are any rules to conform too.
We know which ones to conform too.
Cause I have respect for you.
You have respect for me.
That is the word that Aretha sung.
