"Respect" lyrics

"Respect"

What you want
Baby, I got
What you need
Do you know I got it?
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect when you come home

I ain't gonna do you wrong
While you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong
'Cause I don't wanna
All I'm askin'
Is for a little respect when you come home

Ooh, your kisses
Sweeter than honey
And guess what, baby
So is my money
All I'm askin'
Is give it to me when you get home

I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my profits
When you get home
When you get home

R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB

So, a little respect
All of time
Keep on tryin'
You're runnin' out of foolin'
I ain't lyin'
Stop
When you come home...
