It’s bad Aluck to be braggin’… how you put me down
Watch out for the lies that you Espread
You Eripped out my heart but I can… still get around
You’ve got to… show some respect for the Adead
You’re Agonna be sorry for the way you behaved
Regret every mean word you Esaid
It’ll Ecome back to haunt you… if you dance on my grave
You ought to… show some respect for the Adead
You got to Eshow some respect for the Adearly departed
ResB7pect for the fool that you Eleft broken-hearted
It waAs hard to extinguish, that Dbig flame we B7started
You’ve got toE… show some respect for the AdeadE  A  
ALife as I knew it… ended the day
You left for another insEtead
Your Edreams become nightmares if you treat love this way
You got to… show some respect for the Adead
You got to Eshow some respect for the Adearly departed
ResB7pect for the fool that you Eleft broken-hearted
It waAs hard to extinguish, that Dbig flame we B7started
You’ve got toE… show some respect for the Adead
You’ve got to Eshow some respect for the Adead
