Lyrics

[Verse 1]

What you want

Honey, you got it

And what you need

Baby, you've got it

All I'm askin'

Is for a little respect when I come home

[Verse 2]

Hey, now

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, love, ooh, mama

[Verse 3]

Do me wrong

Honey, if you wanna

You can do me wrong

Honey, while I'm gone

But all I'm askin' is for a little respect when I come home

[Verse 4]

Ooh, yeah, now

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, love, ooh, mama

[Verse 5]

Say hey, little girl, you're so sweeter than honey

And I'm about to just give you all my money

But all I'm askin', hey, is a little respect when I come home

[Verse 6]

Hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Yeah, now

[Verse 7]

Hey, little girl, you are sweeter than honey

And I'm about to give you all of my money

But all I want you to do

Is just give it, give me respect when I come home

[Verse 8]

Yeah, now

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, now

[Verse 9]

Respect

Is what I want

Respect is what I need

Respect is what I want

Respect is what I need

Gotta, gotta have it

Gotta, gotta have it

Gotta, gotta have it

Gotta, gotta have it

[Verse 10]

Give it, give it, give it, give it

Give it, give it, give it, give it

Give it, give me some respect

[Verse 11]

Everything I need

Give it to me, baby

Respect is everything I want

Give it to me
