• Respect, I need respect
    please give me respect
    Just a little respect
    why can't I get it
    the respect you give to others
    oh lord, oh lord

    Why can't I get the respect , respect you show others
    why can't I get the respect that I deserve

    I try my best to show you
    that I can be trusted
    but you never look my way
    you only look at them

    Why can't I get the respect, respect you show others
    Why can't I get the respect that I deserve

    I'm tired of trying to show my loyalty to your cause
    they barely have to lift a finger to get your applause

    Why can't I get the respect, respect you show others
    why can't I get the respect that I deserve (x2)
