Lyrics


What you want, baby, I got it
What you need, you know I got it

{Chorus}
All I'm askin' for is a little
Respect when you come home, hey, baby
Just a little bit, just a little bit
When you come home, Mister
Just a little bit, just a little bit

I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
I ain't gonna do you wrong 'cause I don't wanna

{Refrain}

I'm about to give you all my money
But all I'm askin' in return, honey

{As refrain}
Is to give me my propers
When you get home yeah, baby
just-a just-a just-a just-a just-a just-a just-a just-a
When you get home, yeah
Just a little bit, just a little bit

Ooh, your kiss is sweeter than honey
And guess what so is my money

{As refrain}
All I want you to do for me is give it to me
When you get home yeah, baby, whip it to me
Re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- respect
When you get home now
Just a little bit, just a little bit

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
Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me
Respect 
Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me
Whoa, baby, a little respect
Just a little bit, just a little bit
I get tired but I keep on trying
Just a little bit, just a little bit
You're running out of fools  and I ain't lying
Just a little bit, just a little bit
Respect when you come home
Re- re- re- re- re- re- re- re- respect
Or you'll be all alone
Just a little bit, just a little bit
