"Respect" lyrics

"Respect"
(originally by Otis Redding)
(from "RESPECT" soundtrack)


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, TCB

What you want, baby, I got it
What you need, baby, you know I got it
All I'm askin' is for a little respect when you come home
(Just a little bit, just a little bit) Hey baby, when you get home
(Just a little bit, just a little bit)

I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
I ain't gonna do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna
But all I'm askin' is for a little respect when you come home
(Just a little bit, just a little bit) Hey baby, when you get home
(Just a little bit, just a little bit) Yes, sir

I'm about to give you all my money
And all I'm asking' in return, honey
Is to give me my propers when you get home (Just a, just a, just a, just a)
(Just a, just a, just a, just a) Hey, baby, when you get home
(Just a little bit, just a little bit) Yeah

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
(Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-respect, just a little bit) Hey baby, when you get home
Listen (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, TCB, ah
(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, hey (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
I get tired, I keep on tryin' (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of fools, and I ain't lying' (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
(Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-respect) Stop, when you get home
Or you might walk in and find that I'm gone (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
Hey, baby, a little respect (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
Say I got to have a little respect (Just a little bit, just a little bit)
A little respect when you get home (Re-re-re-re-re-re-re-respect)
(Just a little bit) Hey
