Respect Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What you want
Baby I got it
What you need
Do you know I got it

[Chorus]
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when you come home
Hey baby, when you get home
Hey, mister

[Verse 2]
I ain't gonna to do you wrong
While you're gone
Ain't gonna to do you wrong
Because I don't want to

[Chorus]
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when you come home
Hey baby, when you get home
Hey, mister

[Verse 3]
I'm up to giving all my money
And all I'm asking in return honey
Is to give me my propers when you get home
Yeah, baby, when you get home
Yeah
[Bridge]
Ooh
Your kisses, sweeter than honey
Guess what, so is my money

[Chorus]
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when you come home
Hey baby, when you get home
Hey, mister

[Verse 4]
Now
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
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
A little respect
Hey baby
All the time you keep on trying
You're running out, fool
And I'm not lying

[Outro]
Re-re-re-respect
When you come home
Or you might walk in
And find out I'm not alone
I've got to have a little respect
Ooh, baby, hey, baby
R-E-S-P-E-C-T

  • 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 [?]
