R E S P E C T<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t need to wish upon a star.
\nYou can see the future from where you are.
\nJust look deeply into my eyes.
\nIt should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n
Yes, it is coming true.
\nThere is no future for me and you.
\nWe have reached the end of our road.
\nNow, if I may be so bold.<\/p>\n
The reason we are at an end.
\nRespect is a word you cannot bend.
\nEither you respect me, or you don\u2019t.
\nFrom where I\u2019m sitting, \u00a0you won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
It is time to look for greener pastures.
\nOne with much less hazards.
\nOne where love will bloom freely.
\nNot here, where love is mealy.<\/p>\n
So, find another who you will respect.
\nAs for me, I say ‘What the heck.’
\nIt\u2019s not worth it to stick around.
\nPlaying the part of your clown.<\/p>\n
Wish upon that star if it helps.
\nFind yourself another whelp.
\nThis doormat is outta here.
\nI need a snuggle rug to be near.<\/p>\n
