Respect Songtext
What you want, baby, you got it
And what you need, you know you′ve got it
But all I'm asking for, is a little respect for me
(Hey, hey, hey)
You can do me wrong, honey if you want to
You can do me wrong, honey while I′m gone
But all I'm asking for, is a little respect for me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Ooh) Your kisses, sweeter than honey
But guess what? So is my money
And all I want you to do for me
Is give it to me when you get home
Baby, not that, the money honey
I told you did no good
I ain't gon′ do you wrong, honey why you gone
I ain′t gon' do you wrong, ′cause I don't wanna
All I′m asking for is little respect when you come home
Hey, baby when you come home
But thats all, just a little respect (Give a little bit of respect, respect)
(Give a little bit of respect, respect)
(Oooh)
Hey little girl, you're sweeter then honey
I′m about to give you all of my money
But all I'm askin' for is a little respect from you (Ooh)
(Hey, hey, hey)
But listen, R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T it means
(Give a little bit of respect, respect)
I got the- hey
(Give a little bit of respect, respect)
Respect all I want
Respect all I need
I got the habit, I got the habit
Hey, a little respect now
A little respect now, hey
Respect, respect is all I ever need
Respect, and I′m gonna give you respect too
Respect, if that′s the word where I go wrong
Respect, I'm gonna be his side woman (Haha)
Well, if that′s the way you feel about it, baby
(Respect) Everything gonna be alright
(Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop)
Everything is not gonna be alright
'Till we get a few things straight in this camp
Mister, come on I′ll tell you about it
(Wait, wait, don't go) Come on
Now on, when we walk down the street
No more looking at those doggone women, you hear?
(What you haven′t seen me looking at those women)
Oh yeah, what about that woman and her yellow dress?
What about all those women with the bat legs you look at
You better start showing me some respect (Bat, bat legs?)
Or we are through (I'm the one to love you, baby)
And what you need, you know you′ve got it
But all I'm asking for, is a little respect for me
(Hey, hey, hey)
You can do me wrong, honey if you want to
You can do me wrong, honey while I′m gone
But all I'm asking for, is a little respect for me
(Hey, hey, hey)
(Ooh) Your kisses, sweeter than honey
But guess what? So is my money
And all I want you to do for me
Is give it to me when you get home
Baby, not that, the money honey
I told you did no good
I ain't gon′ do you wrong, honey why you gone
I ain′t gon' do you wrong, ′cause I don't wanna
All I′m asking for is little respect when you come home
Hey, baby when you come home
But thats all, just a little respect (Give a little bit of respect, respect)
(Give a little bit of respect, respect)
(Oooh)
Hey little girl, you're sweeter then honey
I′m about to give you all of my money
But all I'm askin' for is a little respect from you (Ooh)
