We complicate things
But sometimes
What we really need is love and respect

Shorty I respect and I love you
And I love that I respect you
Wanted to get you for months
And I want us to connect through
That mutual respect so I expect you
To feel mutual about the level of respect
'Cause our levels aint' usual

See usually, some guys will try use you with these
And confuse you with grief and so abusing it
Not anymore I get the door
So you can move through with ease
Beautifully but first you've gotta choose a future with me
Can only give you and complete you since the humour's complete

You're not human to me
Plus I love your humility
Face this man, you in the street would be in the suits and all that
I get weak when we get down to business cause you is a freak
Mnce stru

Everything she does is the best
I mean the hugs and the kiss
You can trust that I'm blessed so in turn
I put her above of the rest cause she's earned
All of my my love and respect

Love and respect is (A two way journey)
Yes between the two of us winging it
Umuntu umnike lento oyifunayo

Mnike, mnike
Mnike (Yonk'intomb'ifuna indod'egcwel'uthando)
Yeah, yeah yeah (Yonk'indoda ifuna intomb'enenhlonipho)
Love and respect is (A two way journey)
Mnike, mnike (Umuntu umnike lento ayifunayo)
