[verse 1]
What you want
Baby I got it, mmm
What you need, you know I got it
All I'm asking, is for a little respect when you get home
Hey baby, when you get home
Just a little bit, mista

[verse 2]
I ain't gonna do you wrong, while your gone
I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't wanna
And all I want you do for me
Is give it to me when you get home, alright now
When you get home, just a little bit mista

[Chorus]
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, take care TCB

[Bridge]
No, a little respect
No, a little respect
Gonna say it one more time

[Chorus]

[Outro]
No, yeah
A little respect

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
