What you want, baby, I got it
Quello che vuoi, tesoro, ce l'ho
What you need, do you know I got it?
Quello di cui hai bisogno, lo sai che ce l'ho io?

All I'm askin' is for a little respect when you get home
Tutto quello che chiedo in cambio è un pò di rispetto quando torni a casa
(Just a little bit) hey, baby
(Solo un po') hey tesoro
(Just a little bit) when you get home
(Solo un po') quando torni a casa
(Just a little bit) mister
(Solo un po') signore
(Just a little bit)
(Solo un po')

I ain't gon' do you wrong while you're gone
Non ho intenzione di farti del male mentre sei via
Ain't gon' do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna
Non voglio farti del male perché non voglio

All I'm askin' is for a little respect when you come home
Tutto ciò che chuedo è un po' di rispetto quando torni a casa

È di darmi dei profitti quando torni a casa

Ooh, your kisses, sweeter than honey
Oh i tuoi baci sono più dolce del miele
And guess what? So is my money
Ed indovina un pò? Lo è anche il mio denaro
All I want you to do for me, is give it to me when you get home
Tutto quello che voglio tu faccia per me, è darmi questa dolcezza quando torni a casa

(Solo un po') e scoprire che me ne sono andata
(Just a little bit) I gotta have
(Solo un po') devo avere

Meaning
The song “Respect” by Aretha Franklin is about a woman demanding respect from her man. She sings about giving him everything he wants, but only asks for a little respect in return. The song became an anthem for the feminist and civil rights movements and is still a popular classic today.
