Boy listen to me careful now 
Cause this is something every man should know 
Oh this is a lesson about how 
You treat your girl rigth just let it show 
That you love her that you need her say 
That you want her in every way 
You gotta show your girl a little respect 
Or you won't get nothing back but hate 
It's those little things that mean so much 
You gotta treat her right 
Or get out of her sight 

Do you really want me am I really special 
Taking is so easy boys giving is unusual 
If you really want me don't make we wait too long 
Respect and love is the key just listen to my song 

Safe is how she wants to feel 
Protect her with all you've got 
Oh she wants to know your love's for real 
And be a good lover make her hot 
Then she'll do everything love you day and night 
She'll do anything just do her right 
It's those little things that mean so much 
You gotta treat her right 
Or get out of her sight 

[Chorus] 

Girls don't give up, give your best 
No part time job, no time to rest 
Let him know what's up before 
so he can give you more and more
