Respect Lyrics
What you want
Honey you've got it
And what you need
Baby you've got it
All I'm asking
Is for a little respect when I come home
Do me wrong
Honey if you wanna
You can do me wrong Honey while I am gone
But all I'm asking for
Is for a little respect when I come home
Hey little girl, you're so sweeter than honey
And I am about to just give you all my money
All I'm asking for
Is a little respect when I come home
Hey little girl, you're sweeter than honey
And I am about to give you all my money
But all I want you to do
Just give it, give it
Respect when I come home
Respect is what I want
Respect is what I need
Respect is what I want
Respect is what I need
Got to, got to have it
Got to, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it
Honey you've got it
And what you need
Baby you've got it
Is for a little respect when I come home
Honey if you wanna
You can do me wrong Honey while I am gone
Is for a little respect when I come home
And I am about to just give you all my money
Is a little respect when I come home
And I am about to give you all my money
Just give it, give it
Respect when I come home
Respect is what I need
Respect is what I want
Respect is what I need
Got to, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it
Gotta, got to have it

Yes. Hooray for soul chunks.
A cocksure and punchy song.
I prefer Aretha's version, but without this it wont be R.E.S.P.E.C.T
