Respect Lyrics

[Intro]
Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-respect
Just a little bit
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care of T-C-B

[Verse 1]
What you want
Baby, I got it
What you need
You know I got it
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect

[Refrain]
When you come home (Just a little bit)
Hey, baby (Just a little bit)
When you get home (Just a little bit)
(Just a little bit)

[Verse 2]
I ain't gon' do you wrong
While you're gone
I ain't gon' do you wrong
'Cause I don't wanna
But all I'm askin'
Is for a little respect
[Refrain]
When you come home (Just a little bit)
Hey, baby (Just a little bit)
When you gеt home (Just a little bit)
Yes, sir (Just a littlе bit)

[Verse 3]
I'm about to give you
All my money
And all I'm askin'
In return, honey
Is to give me
My propers

[Refrain]
When you get home (Just a, just a, just a, just a)
Hey, baby (Just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (Just a little bit)
Yeah (Just a little bit)

[Verse 4]
Ooh, your kiss is
Sweeter than honey
And guess what?
So is my money
But all I want you to do for me
Is give me some respect
[Refrain]
Hey, baby (Re-re-re-re)
When you get home (Re-re-re-respect)
Hey (Just a little bit)
Listen (Just a little bit)

[Bridge]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care of T-C-B, oh

[Outro]
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect
(Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)
Oh, yeah (Just a little bit)
Hey (Just a little bit)
I get tired (Just a little bit)
I keep on tryin' (Just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of fools (Just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (Just a little bit)
Stop (Re-re-re-re)
When you get home (Re-re-re-respect)
Or you might walk in (Just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (Just a little bit)
Hey, baby (Just a little bit)
A little respect (Just a little bit)
Say I got to have (Just a little bit)
A little respect (Just a little bit)
A little respect (Re-re-re-re)
When you get home (Re-re-re)
Respect (Just a little bit)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
