[Verse 1]
For reasons I don't know I treated you so cold
I wish I had those times again
Because something that you said keeps
Ringing in my head
Someday you're going to want to come back
And you're going to want to treat me fine

[Chorus]
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little

[Verse 2]
I watched me push you down in dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days is
I would run around thinking that you'd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And oh, you were right about the things I'd say
Because if I had it back again I know I would, you know I'd treat you kind

[Chorus]
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time

[Bridge]
Everybody got to have somebody
Everybody got to have someone

[Verse 3]
And all I ever wanted from this play
Was someone to talk to when I get down
It seems you get the things you give along the way
Now all I need is one more chance to make you feel like hanging round

[Chorus]
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time, time
Everybody
Everybody got to have someone

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
