I don't mind a lie
If you tell me honestly
You could tell me anything, oh

I like peace and quiet
But the silence is killing me
What you do on your own time's got
Nothing to do with me
Oh, but don't punish me

Now that we've arrived
I believe in faith
You got your own life, you're
Turning on me, baby, no, no
Happiness is everything
They didn't see

I like peace and quiet
But the silence is killing me
What you do with your own time's got
Nothing to do with me

(Let me spell it for you)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
L-O-V-E, love
(You used to show me)
Tenderness and loyalty
R-you-S-T, trust
(I should thank you for it)
T-R-O-you-B-L-E, the trouble you saved me
(But I think I'm gonna)
Pack it up, let it go
L-E-A-V-E, leave

I like peace and quiet
But the silence is killing me
What you do on your own time's got
Nothing to do with me
Oh, but don't punish me
Don't punish me, ooh
Ooh
Ooh
