Oh yeah, well...
What you want, baby, I got it
What you need, you know I got it
All I'm asking for
Is just a little respect when I get home
Yeah, when I get home
Yeah yeah
You can do me wrong while I'm gone
You can do me wrong if you want
I ain't gonna do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna
All I'm asking for
Is just a little respect when I get home
When I get home, yeah, oh yeah
I'm about to give you all of my money
But all I'm asking in return, honey
Is to give me my respect when I get home
Oh yeah, got to have respect
Yeah yeah yeah, give it to me
Oh baby, you know I need it
Ooh, your kiss is sweeter than honey, baby
But guess what, so is all my money
All I want you to do for me
Is give it up when I get home
Yeah baby, a little respect, darlin'
