The Dismemberment Plan - Respect Is Due Lyrics
Well I only call you darling Cos I know how much it bugs you And darling, some habits are so hard to break Think condescension is sexy? Well, that’s your mistake to make So I learned about my power And learned how not to say it And I learned that I have things some people need And no, I know it’s not healthy But it sure beats giving you the lead If I ever would let down the walls That protects me from you I would say respect is due But not in this lifetime So maybe I’d have loved you So maybe if you loved me And maybe the Easter bunny existsIt's all the same to me now, dearYeah, but don't think I don't have those old listsNow the guns are tiredShoot bullets in slow motionAnd all the soldiers have all gone homeAnd that's too bad'Cos it was such a nice war, dearYeah, but it's time to leave well enough alone.If I ever would let down the walls That protects me from you I would say respect is due But not in this lifetime Well I only call you darlingBecause I really mean itDon't take my word for it; I wouldn't take yoursAnd yet I know it's not healthyYeah, but it sure beats picking at age-old soresSo bon voyage, my darlingIt was real good knowing youThat's French for "have a good trip," if you didn't know'Cos condescension is sexyAnd I don't know why, why you wouldn't think soIf I ever would let down the walls That protects me from you I would say respect is due But not in this lifetime
