[Verse 1]
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I was watering my rose garden and you walked by my place
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I almost ran up to you in a lustful, unsensitive haste
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I almost cried cause I acted so insensitive
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
But I wanted you to know about the feather-soft warmth I could give
[Chorus]
G# D#6/G
I respect your feelings
Gb C#6/F
I respect your gender
G# D#6/G
I respect your existence
Cb CbM7/A#
I'll always be tender cause
G# G#M7/G
I respect your feelings
Gb GbM7/F Fb FbM7/D# C#
As a woman and a hu-----man
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll be the pansy-growing gardener of our bouquet of love
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
F flower-wielding soldier with the grace of a dove
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll love you all, heart, mind and soul, I'd never think of anything cheap
G#sus2 CbM7 F6sus C9sus
I'll read you some of my poems before you go to sleep
[Chorus]
G# D#6/G
I respect your feelings
Gb C#6/F

I respect your existence
Cb CbM7/A#
I'll always be tender cause

I respect your feelings
