Respect (Live February 5, 1971) Lyrics

[(Ooh)] What you want
[(Ooh)] Baby, I got it
[(Ooh)] What you need
[(Ooh)] Do you know I got it?
[(Ooh)] All I'm askin'
[(Ooh)] Is for a little respect when you get home
[(Just a little bit)] Hey, baby
[(Just a little bit)] When you get home
[(Just a little bit)] Mister

I ain't gonna do you wrong
While you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong
[(Ooh)] 'Cause I don't wanna
[(Ooh)] All I'm askin'
[(Ooh)] Is for a little respect when you come home
[(Just a little bit)] Baby
[(Just a little bit)] When you get home
[(Just a little bit)] Yeah

I'm about to give you
All of my money
And all I'm askin'
In return, honey
Is to give me my propers
When you get home
[(Just a, just a, just a, just a)] Yeah, baby
[(Just a, just a, just a, just a)] When you get home
[(Just a little bit)] Yeah

Ooh, your kisses
[(Ooh)] Sweeter than honey
[(Ooh)] And guess what?
[(Ooh)] So is my money
[(Ooh)] All I want you to do for me
[(Ooh)] Is give it to me when you get home
[(Re, re, re, re)] Yeah, baby
[(Re, re, re, re)] Whip it to me
[(Respect, just a little bit)] When you get home, now

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

Oh
A little respect
Whoa, yeah
[(Just a little bit)] A little respect
[(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'

Respect when you come home
Or you just might walk in
And find out I'm gone
