Respect Is Due
The Dismemberment Plan

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 exists

It's all the same to me now, dear

Yeah, but don't think I don't have those old lists

Now the guns are tired

Shoot bullets in slow motion

And all the soldiers have all gone home

And that's too bad


'Cos it was such a nice war, dear

Yeah, 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 darling

Because I really mean it

Don't take my word for it; I wouldn't take yours

And yet I know it's not healthy

Yeah, but it sure beats picking at age-old sores

So bon voyage, my darling

It was real good knowing you

That's French for have a good trip, if you didn't know

'Cos condescension is sexy

And I don't know why, why you wouldn't think so

If I ever would let down the walls

That protects me from you

I would say respect is due

But not in this lifetime
