Respect Yourself Lyrics - Angela Brown

Can anybody tell me what's going on? 

Can you tell me what's going down? 

I know a place, need a little love in our hearts 

You know what's going down 

Does anyone know? 

What's going down? 

Does anyone know? 

Does anyone know? 

lonely hearts don't die 

they live to sing a song 

when they open up 

it is never over 

'till the long days are gone 

I am a factor of illusion 

Whose vision is an 

inherent mark through time. 

Quietly, I withhold 

an emotion, an intrusion 

Who has 

paced each step, 

silently... 

The voice within, 

somberly calling, 

Negating 

insecure thoughts 

of denial. 

An inclusion 

from compromise, 

Negating motivation... 

A state of mind. 

Allusions I am 

the mirror image of you 

You are of me 

it in my voice 

You see my actions 

of who we have become, 

My voice carries on, 

When you love someone 

Who does not love you back 

It hurts, the beast in the lyrics 

The buckle in the heart 

Morning the love I lost, 

I am the mirror image 

When love hurts 

I become an 

invisible enemy of hope, 

trust cannot hold loose sand. 

I am the image of love 

Love don't regret 

I hold emotions, 

I withhold the pain 

of being denied, love 

what once was mine 

Within the image of pain 

became loss and hurt 

My tears lie 

of broken promises, of 

Circumstance, 

Feelings come and go 

images to let go 

When you took away 

the blame, the guilt, 

When you took away 

the love, the joy, I admit 

You took away my heart. 

How many times 

must I walk out 

Before you 

call my name? 

Promise me 

To keep in touch. 

We got to get ourselves 

Together we're together 

Come down with me 

To meet at this place 

You know what is going down.
